I thought I posted a response on this, but maybe I forgot to hit the Confirm button.
If you suffer from multiple personality disorder, the best thing would probably be to try an antipsychotic. They also generally correct depressive symptoms, including anxiety. You could ask about Geodon, Seroquel, or Zyprexa. I had more success on the Geodon, I think it's a little more powerful. The Seroquel is pretty sedating and it seemed to affect my sex drive after taking it, but I never experienced much sexual side effects from the others. Though I was on Effexor at the time, which decreased my sex drive, so it was a little difficult to tell. I think I remember feeling so good on the Geodon that I didn't really care about my sex drive, but it was definitely there. Zyprexa didn't seem to affect it either. In any case, they are all pretty widely used and I know many people on this board have had good success with them. Are you seeing a psychaitrist?
