does anybody take any meds for being very irritable
In most cases I have known the meds are only a sticking plaster on the problem that is causing the irratibility and often come with side effects or do not work well for the people.
I will point out that I am not a medical specialist and cannot offer medical advice by the rules of this site.
That said, your best option is to speak to your GP and ask for a fererral to a psychiatrist who should be much more skilled at getting to identify the cause of the issues that are generating your irritibility, plus there is the bonus that if medication is a good approach then they can prescribe something suited to your problem while being much more knowledgable than your GP on the subject.
To me the key diiference between a psychiatrist and psychotherapist is that the psychiatrist is better at identifying the problem and prescribing drugs if appropriate while the psychotherapist is going to help you process your issues and help you help yourself with guidance and some advice. Both are very useful.
Your GP is likely to have too little time to spend with you and too little knowledge to make a useful diagnosis, but they are useful as a gatekeeper to specialists like the psychiatrist.
If you can afford it then going directly is an option.

Thanks I thought that irritable can be a trait of ASD why does everything have to be labelled as depression . Yes I did google that but risperidone does seem in the USA to help with autism irritableness
