Same for stimulants.
Not so sure about anti psychotics...
I think there has been some study or something to show that small doses of Seroquel can help with dissociation. By which I think they mean reduce reports of dissociating or switching into alternative states...
Seroquel is one of the newer anti psychotics so maybe other anti psychotics assist a little with preventing dissociating too... I dunno... You might want to ask over on the main Babble (medications) board if you haven't already.
