You're experience would be helpful.

there is medication for dissociation. dissociation is a reaction to something that the person is having trouble with. that trouble is called a trigger. examples of triggers panic anxiety, depression grief, sleep problems, eating problems.....theres a whole lot of things that cause a person to dissociation.
what medications work for dissociating depends upon what is causing that dissociation.
examples ...
if depression is the cause of the dissociation then anti depressants work to stop the dissociation
if psychosis is the reason why a person is dissociating then anti psychotics will stop the dissociating....
the only time there is no medication for dissociation is if the dissociation is on a normal level ie daydreaming, deep concentration, high way hypnosis, ....
but the one thing about medication is that each person reacts their own way to medications....what that means is even though in general it works...each person has to find out which meds work and at what dosages.
my suggestion continue to work with your treatment providers, if they think zoloft will work for you then they are the best ones to work with to fine tune the dosage and if needed change to a different one.
