I have a lesser degree of what you have- not separate persons inside, but walled-off groups of feelings. I guess this always comes from some type of childhood abuse. Have you investigated finding a therapist who specializes in this? I think it is very hard to find just the right one, as not many therapists are expert in this. I looked extensively, and found a very good one, who is helping a lot; several other posters on psychotherapy-babble have found excellent ones also. I think this is the most important thing you can do. As to medications, there is no specific one for DID- you just treat the depression and anxiety with the ones that work best for you- this could take several trials, although Lamictal is considered a good choice. Is it helping?
