We don't take any meds for DID, and to our knowledge there are none that are for it, although, as described above, there are some for associated symptoms that sometimes occur. We personally have had some very adverse and weird reactions to meds, and are therefore hesitant in taking them. We do sometimes take something to help us sleep (with mixed results) and we have tried taking things for nerve disorders we have (also with mixed results.) We believe in being open minded about meds, and remain willing to try things, but don't believe in them being an easy fix. Especially with regards to DID, it's so personal, and so different for each of us, as well as for each within us, that it's hard to figure out what helps. It's more of a trial and error process. We just encourage you to stay willing to keep trying, until you can find a mix of meds, therapy, and anything else that helps you. ~ Emma & Julia
Thanks for this!
