I would check out this place very well before you do anything like admitting yourself into this place...someone was just talking about that somewhere here, it could have been you or someone else. I don't like the idea that you are being taken off all your meds, and given only Paxil the whole time you are there. Especially if you have hydrocodone for pain and can't get along without it. Then you will be in for a lot of hurt time that could have been avoided. You should be able to find a pdoc where you live. Don't go anywhere without checking out at least two other places besides the one in Florida.

I agree with the other ladies. Don't self-diagnose yourself. If you are DID, it isn't going anywhere, and going into a program without having at least some counseling beforehand may do irreparable harm rather than good. I would at least see if there is a T in your area that has experience with DID. That way you can talk to them and see if that is what is really going on. If that's not what is going on, then you will get to the bottom of it quickly. But going off all meds and pain meds seems a rather drastic measure for a 30 day program.
