There was a time that a good friend of mine who is DID was on a lot of different medications for the symptoms she was suffering from. This year, the psychiatrist weaned her off of everything. What he told her was that she was getting no help from the meds as they did not affect or help her system so it was all for naught being on them. All they really did for her was to make her more like a zombie. They couldn't tell what part of her would benefit or wouldn't benefit from the meds.

From what I see now that she's off them is that she's more likely to be able to get more from her therapy, work better in the present time to get to her healing stages and I see no other real difference in her anxiety levels or any other symptoms she had then compared to now.

The doc did say that she might benefit from some anti anxiety meds, but she has refused them because she doesn't want to mask anything. She wants to know what she needs to work on and if what she is doing is helping or not. Makes a lot of sense to me
Thanks for this!
