How many are taking medication for AS related symptoms?

Post Reply New Topic

I find it really difficult to take any medication for my symtoms of AS which are many..OCD and depression being some ..but hate that Zombie feeling when all you want to do all day is sleep....so not that helpful for me!

For those needing perscription sleep meds I would not like to use Xanax. I have tried it. It makes me sleep good but then I dont want to quit sleeping till at least noonish..lol. Would endorse Florazepam aka Dalmane. That stuff knock a person out like a light with not much hangover. Depends on the old do you fall asleep easy and wake up easy or etc. This one knock you out and keep you knocked till time to get up. Xanax is also not meant for chronic depression or sleep issues. Its a stop gap measure for extreme cases of anxiety panic attacks etc. Any that are taking it daily need to slowly get weaned off. Wine also works great for sleeping. Moonshine too..lol. Beer gets the bladder too riled up.

We cant get our Aspie kin to even take an aspirin. Going to the doctor to get pills is plumb out of the question. No need to even mention an injection cause he aint going for it. Might get the needle in right after the fight. I would start with 10 full grown men to attempt to hold him down..lol.

I take tablets for anxiety/depression.
