medication for anxiety?

super-meg

Hi

I'm new to the forum. I'm 21 (almost 22!) and I've recently been diagnosed with aspergers, my question is do any people here also have anxiety use medication to help cope with it? What are you perscibed? And does it help?

I posted this under another topic but then realised it will be better in here!

thank you Smile

  • Got diagnosed with ASPERGERS lately,, spend 4 years on anti-depressants,, Mebeverine(anti-depressant) and Citlopram(anxiety)... they just made me stoic !!!! So I came of the tablets,, doing this was one of the reasons I got diagnosed with Aspergers,, because I made no reponse to the tablets, even at the high level, so it was a determined I had Aspergers, not depression, GAD, OCD, phobia which was there original opinion, althought my condition does express through these line, but not the primary reason, it was AUTISM. Makes sense as I have struggle all my life, althought academically I would be considered very bright, but coping emotionally is hell for me.

    I have since read that neuro-chemicals are not any good for Aspergers or even probably Autism long-term. The best research says, just too take a small beta-blocker in the morning. Remember your aspergers is a development condition,, so you can learn new process strategies via cognitive therapies. Don't get caught on the drug route, it is not the magic pill. Good for a mass containment policy system and sedation, not good for living.
