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

  • Before my diagnosis I was given citropalm (correct spelling?) for anxiety and depression several times but didn't feel like it really helped. After I was diagnosed last year, I went through a rough patch and am now on setraline. After it settled, it seems to be helping. My doctor says I will probably be on it for about six months to a year but I'm worried about it going on any longer. Currently we are trying to figure out what other treatments/coping strategies would be useful but it's early days.
