Sad to hear you want your alters to just go away, but a pill won't help you. Your body chemistry is not out of whack; instead, your mind is trying very hard to protect you from something. Unfortunately, your mind doesn't consider the problems that such a defense can create. Having to potty train an inner-child (I've read that this is one challenge you're facing) may seem bad, but that child is somehow keeping you safe from something far worse.
If you just want a normal life, you need to work with the alters. A therapist can help you do that. Healing may result in all the alters coming together as one person, but you still need to learn to live with your internal others. That takes time and effort, but we've found it's worth it.
