Psychiatrist at my T's practice periodically checks all meds clients r on. I'm DID. Not on any psych meds now. He suggested to T that an antidepressive my help for awhile. My T asked me if I'd ever been on them (yes), what happened (hosptalized). As we talked we realized that every time I went on them, the depressive turned to suicidal thoughts leading to hospitalization. Coincidence? He asked if I remembered what we had been working on. Nope. As I thought during the following week, we think we were dealing w the teenagers. He nodded his head when I told him. Seems in teenagers some depressive meds r contra indicated for that reason. My T is not antimeds but he would rather work thru it then medicate. Wonder if anyone else has had med problems -worked, didn't work-w particular alters.
