I've thought about this for a minute, and I've realized that I don't need anxiety to effect a switch. Just a change of environment or situation is enough for me to change to cope with the moment. I'm always changing, so like reading a list of my alters names causes me to spaz uncontrollably as each steps forward. I quit doing that. I feel like a human machine gun when I do that.
Extreme anxiety only causes me to depersonalize...go out of body. God I hate that. It only happens at the worse of times like when I'm flying down the freeway over a bridge or standing on the edge of something. Never when I'm standing on solid ground.
I hope it works for you, but for me, I just can't see it. I took Buspar for awhile, and it barely did the trick on the bridge panic attacks. All I wanted to do was escape through the back of my skull! Ugh!
Let us know how it goes. I might ask for stronger stuff next time
