Thank you all for taking the time to share with me your experiences and thoughts. I really, really appreciate it.

I am seriously considering finding a therapist soon. If I meet someone with the firm decision to not go back on meds, from the beginning, things might go much better in the long run. Maybe a psychiatrist isn't the best way to go, maybe a psychotherapist or counselor would be better??

In answer to some of your questions, I was tested for seizures back when the meds were reacting very badly in my system and I thought I was having them, and the results were negative.

I don't remember how well the medication actually worked for my migraines over all (I was about 12), but I do remember still getting them (only because I remember the torture that I went through from the other children in middle school making fun of my for them), and more than that, passing out from the medication they had me on.

In the merck information it said that people who eventually discover that their diagnoses is DID have usually been "in the system" for nearly a decade and have an average of 3 previous diagnoses, that's why I thought my previous experiences would be relevant when sharing/asking.

I'm by no means looking for a diagnoses from these conversations, or assuming that anything means or concludes anything. I do however appreciate anyone that takes the time to welcome me and share with me such as you all have. =)
