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

  • My 14 year old Aspie son started Sertraline a few months ago and it's definitely helped him with his anxiety.  We noticed the difference pretty quickly, as did he, but he also seems more engaged and communicative.  He's own a low dose 75mg.  Hasn't helped with his concentration though which was the main purpose of trying it.  Good luck!
