Possibly, benzos (and alcohol) may lower the treshold for my alter personalities coming out (I have DID that is mostly dormant). I was told I vandalised my room at the hospital, but I have absolutely no memory of it; I remember taking a massive dose of clonazepam before (maybe up to a few days) it.

>I think I have schizoid personality disorder, which got diagnosed as Asperger's. And they say I have schizophrenia but I'm skeptical -- the psychoses I've had have not been very chronic, with or without antipsychotics. I do have persistent negative symptoms, but that could be better explained by the SPD, the depression, and the dissociative disorder.
I guess the schizoid tendency to solitariness is why I haven't tried cannabis. I've not been to many parties where I might have run into it, and I don't have many friends or acquaintance to introduce me to substances.
> Benzo's don't usually do anything for those with that type of illness.
>Interesting. I've come across a number of schizophrenics who find benzos helpful. Maybe SPD is different in that regard?
