Thanks for the replies. I was curious how others used medication. My doc says the same- that there is no medication specifically for DID but that meds can help with specific states and during transitions.
I find that I can't function properly w/o antipsychotics, albeit a low dose. I tend to live as my child state more often w/o them and see the world that way, which doesn't work so well. On them, I can see that the child state isn't real anymore and I live as my adult self, well most of the time. :/ I guess APs do help with the trauma response- it's usually when I feel abandoned that I switch, so on meds I can see reality better, that I'm not really being abandoned. They don't sedate me at all; they actually make me more aware.

Klonopin and mood stabilizers also help to quiet the voices in my head.... But sometimes nothing helps at all.
