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

  • I finally went to the doctors on Thursday (with my social worker) I'm now refusing medication because I believe the doctor just wants to put me on them and it will all be fine but its not a long term solution so when I came off them again I'd be back to square 1. He told me therapies won't work but I told him what I need is somebody who is aspergers trained that can teach me the coping skills I so clearly need so he is looking into it....
