My husband was quite alarmed especially when I told him that she often tells me to harm our young daughter.
Now, I'm not allowed to drive, be alone, have my credit cards or even know where my medicine is. If I have a headache (which is constantly) I have to show my hubby how many I take. I understand this is for my own good and for the kids, but I hate not having control over anything!

Im a bit confused I have never heard of that medication. so I just called my pharmacist. he says he hasnt heard of anything with that spelling the closest he could come to was ambral which here that medication is sold under the name Metronidazole which is an antibiotic. Antibiotics dont work for mentla disorders they are for bacterial infections.
when I did an internet search for the drug under your spelling there was nothing anywhere online about such a drug. usually when a new drug comes out there is a website for that medication telling what it is, whats in it, recommended dosages its marketed in, color of pill, or liquid, precautions, adverse affects, and where to buy it. So now Im even more concerned.
as far as I know (from having DID, Dissociative disorders and from working in mental health as a therapist for a hospital and crisis center) there is no medication for DID. there is medication that will help with PTSD symptoms (anxeity, depression, stress, ...) that some people with DID have. these medications are antidepressants, antianxiety, and antipsychotics.
maybe you can tell us about this medication and where we can find information about it.
Im sorry that you have DID and have violent alters which have caused your family and treatment providers to put such limitations upon you. keep working with your treatment providers, in time maybe you and they will be able to get your violent alters co operation with being safe.
welcome to psych central.
