my experience with it is that its an antidepressant. it wont cause your DID to get better or worse and will not prevent any switching. all it does is help you to control your anxiety and depression symptoms.

example when ever I got anxious instead of dealing with the problem that was causing me to have my anxiety symptoms I would dissociate meaning I would space off then an alter would take control. on antidepressants things that were causing me anxiety (for instance a meeting with my boss) did not seem so stressful. I was able to deal with the meeting with out feeling stressed and anxious. because I wasnt anxious I wasnt dissociating.

the antidepressants didnt prevent me from hearing my alters voices, knowing my alters were there and switching into alters. all it did was calm me the aware self down and help me the aware self be able to handle stressful meetings on my own.

if for example someone belched during the meeting and my trigger was hearing belching I would still switch into what ever alter who's job/purpose/reason for being was to handle belching noises.

another example storms made me anxious and depressed. on abilify I dont feel so anxious and depressed but that doesnt stop me from dissociating (spacing out) during the storm.

theres no medication that can fix DID problems but there is medication for things like depression, anxiety, psychosis, hallucinations and other non DID like symptoms.

my point is what it will do if it works for you like it did me... is calm ....you...down. thats how you will get peace of mind, just like if a normal non DID person who took abilify it can calm them down so that they are not so depressed, not so anxious, slow the thinking process down.
