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.

My first thought was sodium amytal, which is a barbituate. It's the "truth serum". It was used in the old days for DID.
It may be used to procure diagnostically—or therapeutically—vital information, and to provide patients with a functional respite fr
om catatonia and mania.
It goes by amobarbital, also.
It's been taken off the market a good bit as it's been known to create false memories.
