Anti-anxiety meds

Deleted user

Hi

So I have always suffered with anxiety and low mood. This year I found out I am an Aspie.  Not just a little bit but a lot. 

Sometimes anxiety or sensory or both cause me to shake.  At night, like last night I wake up and I am in the foetal position rocking with anxiety.

So I am considering anti-anxiety meds. But...

1) I am worried they will change my personality for the worse and

2) as a side effect suicide is possible.

Has anyone been on these and what effects have they had.

    But what about meltdowns.  I have 2 sensory and overload of emotions.  With the emotions do they work?

    I felt very on edge before taking Propanalol since starting it I still feel some kind of emotional reaction if something goes wrong but I don't feel like I am going to react by having a meltdown. Sensory issues seem less extreme too. I have felt sadness and happiness but in a good way. The guidance on this particular drug said not to take when experiencing depression. There are other medications where this doesn't apply I am sure.
