Awww Rsk, you sound pretty freaked. I would be too.
I understand meds for people w/DD can be a challenge cuz diff parts may have diff issues.
It could be you have a part that is more borderlinePD and is getting wigged out. You could even have a part that leans to bipolar. So hard to know :-(
Has your T worked on your getting to know your parts and being able to try and have some communication? I think thats REALLY important cuz otherwise your going to have constant battles cuz you forever forcing parts to do that which they don't want to. But with negotiation, and with incentives and reassurance, you may be able to get some agreement and more calm.
Sounds like you got some 'rules'(I call them 'laws') in your head still. Like not being able to fail. That is something to work on in T. Takes alot of talking(arguing!) w/T to get past them laws....but worthwhile.
I took an AAP for a bit, it was OK but made me sleepy and I gained weight too much. But it got me thru a bad patch.
Well I ramble, perhaps stupidly.
Take care RSk.
