Korin ~ I have been reducing my meds and feeling more alive and in control. Before I was pleasing my doctors by increasing my meds to reach to the theraputic level, but enough with that. I'm not ruining my daily life living like a zombie anymore just to please a doctor. Yes, I am now having mood swings and difficulty with sleep/anxiety/panic but I much prefer that over living with too much sedation. Still on the meds but on a much lower dose and managing my life now which is empowering me. You are correct, there is no medication for DID, it's all about coping skills to reduce the anxiety which is key. And practice, practice, practice.

Writing about it and being on forums like this has helped me the most. There are meds for depression and anxiety and they help make life a little easier to cope with but there are no meds for DID. I don't take any meds these days and feel the need to be strong and take care of myself.  |
