Host questions again sorry. Medicine trigger warning.

Can hosts have false memories?

What I mean by this is if someone else fronts and I’m not present in the body. Can my consciousness create false memories for the time. For instant if I’m being yelled at by someone which is a trigger can another alter front in that moment. So I remember getting yelled at but I have no memory what was said or how I got out of the room but we did. Or for instance I remember going to do something and my family will say I never did it. But I have memory of doing it.

Can medicine trigger a switch?

When I was younger before I thought I had DID. A doctor gave me some Prozac after a traumatic experience involving my best friend. I took the Prozac and a later that day I started feeling extremely sad. Like full on worse depression. I remember being in the car feeling like I was about to bawl my eyes out. And then feeling like i was in a tunnel then blank. I remember it scaring me so bad because I woke up the next day with no memory for well over twelve hours. To this day when I ask my mom she just says I was different and they had to watch us fall asleep because they weren’t sure on what I was going to do. We wrote it off but looking back it felt like the first time I can actually remember a switch occurring.

I have a theory that as a host I’ve not really been around long. As in like the last 10 years of our almost 30 yrs of life. Because I don’t remember much of my childhood but what I do is like watching a movie of myself.

Leana here,
I feel like, particularly if the possible fabricated memories were before the system had 'settled into itself', it would make sense for the brain to make up memories. You were clearly scared when you had blacked out, so fabricating memories would be a logical way for your brain to prevent you from freaking out.
I don't know much about Prozac, but I don't believe the medicine itself caused the switch. You mentioned being overwhelmed by emotion, so it would make perfect sense if someone else was triggered out because you couldn't handle it, or because they were a sorrow-related alter.
Hope this helps!

Hello Ashe! Maria speaking!
I do believe I experience the same thing where my mind has made up false memories or has exaggerated certain memories to the point where I believe them to have actually happened when in actuality they haven't occurred or have happened but not the way it was described or recalled. Sometimes I have dreams and those can be a result in me creating false memories. As a host I've noticed that whenever I have dreams I will sometimes think that I am actually in the real world experiencing these things. Like I remember one time I had a dream that i woke up in a hospital bed due to having had yet another psychotic episode. And I thought it was actually real because of how close it was to what my reality is like. When I woke up from the dream I was really confused as to why I was no longer in the hospital but in a place that was not easily recognizable to me. It wasn't till I was fully awake that I realized I was at my house. Haha!
I'm not sure whether medication can trigger switches or not. But I have also had instances where I've taken my meds and felt completely different to the point where I didn't feel like I was acting myself or I was acting out of character. Like I'd get really sad or depressed and suddenly I was wanting to do things that I would otherwise not normally even consider doing. I've been trying to get off my meds for years now though cause I've noticed its been making me keep weight on and I don't exactly like that. Neither do the others. But in any case I hope you get the information you need

I think that the emotion did trigger it. I know our alter Ashley has a lot and I mean a lot of depression. And can be suicidal at times.
