Ok after re reading your post a few times and googling "drug induced dissociation disorder" I found many sourses that say yes you can.

the key here for me was rereading your post and seeing you didnt ask if it could cause a specific dissociation disorder. you asked if you can make yourself develop a dissociation "conditions" Conditions can be symptoms, disorders or any other problems. So yes taking medicines like this can cause you to have dissociation conditions (symptoms and problems).

http://www.panicanxietydisorder.org....20symptoms.htm

in the third paragraph there is many examples of things that can cause dissociation conditions one of them is drugs, medicaitons are drugs the legal kind.

http://nodid.org/dynamic/

on that one it says under drug induced disorders - depersonalizationa nd derealization which are dissociation conditions (disorders and symptoms or problems)

http://dualdiagnosis.org/resource/ar...buse-chapter-6

on this on you have to scroll down quite a bit. its listed as dissociation under AOD induced conditions

theres lots more results just do a search for "drug induced dissociation disorders" my computer brought up 201,000 ressults

Thanks for the challenging question.
