Just started.

Prescribed time release Melatonin to aid sleeping.
- This is the best sleeping aid I have ever used - it is wonderful to hit the pillow and fade out quickly

Valium for acute anxiety and in preparation for situations that are likely to trigger acute anxiety.
- Have tried others, that just stress me out more
- Valium completely neutralizes my anxiety very quickly and generally chills me out

i am waiting to get out, so i can do what i want to do. When i do get out i am going to definitely put a end to me. I am going to commit suicide and the doctors where i am at dont care at all. I dont think anyone can help me out. I wish people would complain. Maybe once i am dead and gone, people will complain then. The doctors here made me worse not better at all. What i really mean is i am not getting better yet, and i am suffering here, I wish there was better doctors around.

I want to be a ghost in wrongplanet. I want to be weightless, and as a ghost i wont have a weight problem. I want to get the ghost of they year award. I can do that after i get out of UNC. I can be the next ghost of wrongplanet. Maybe a bot can be made in memory of me one day

i think ai ling was being very hurtful. ignore him. please don't do it i would get down on my knees and beg you. of course you can't see me doing that but try to picture it. don't take your life to make a point to people who don't listen. its not worth it, trust me. please sue, that the only way to get some people to listen, bring the consequences to them. they will not be able to ignore you any longer.

I have meds for ADHD, it stops me being impulsive and really helps me concentrate, I have also been taking an anti-depressant for many years but I am in the process of reducing it, I tend to deal with anxiety on a day to day basis.

hey i still dont feel good, and i still feel even much more worse then i did when i came to UNC. I have had no relief at all. The doctor told me he is going to give me some abilify, i hope he gives me enough to make a difference. I still dont think the doctors here has helped me out at all. I hate feeling so bad i really do want to get better. I can not cope the way i am now.

You might be better off making your own thread or posting in an appropriate thread for similar issues. It's quite rude to derail threads in such a manner.

oh wow now i am in trouble for posting at the wrong spot and now i have people complaning about me, all i need is more complains

oh wow now i am in trouble for posting at the wrong spot and now i have people complaining about me, all i need is more complaints. well i am talking about medication and i was just given 5 mg of abilify, I doubt it will work on me. Oh yes i am sorry to be a bother to all

Ok, here's the thing. I don't have any desire to be perfectly normal. I embrace my eccentricities, but I DO take meds. This is not in an attempt to disguise my autism.

I love who I am, but I'm not going to pretend that every aspect of my autism is a walk in the park. I have anxiety, severe and dangerous meltdowns, impulsivity, etc... If I take meds to relieve these distressing symptoms, am I "normal" and no longer autistic? Of course not. I'm still autistic, but life is a little easier. Temple Grandin has been on the same dose of Prozac for 15 years.

I take Dexedrine and Celexa, both of which have helped me enormously.

Sorry people keep making rude comments, it hardly seems to be the best response.....one thing I wanted to point out though is if you post more about this in the section titled The Haven people might be a little more tolerant and offer more help, that is still no reason for people in this section to be rude though.

I self medicate to relieve my distressing symptoms........mostly with cannabis, so I am not of the veiw that it is totally wrong to ever try to alter your thinking/behavior/ect to reduce symptoms though the appropriate way of doing that is something we might disagree on. I tried Prozac already for about 4 weeks and I'm still recovering from that horrible experiance.

Cheer up buttercup! I've attempted suicide numerous times, and was very suicidal only recently. It isn't worth it. I was a miserable excuse for a person only a year ago. Now I'm happy and loving life. Well, the other day I had a pretty severe meltdown, but I bounced back.

You can it! I know you can? How do I know? If I can, anyone can. A year ago you would not have recognized me for the person I am today. I've worked VERY hard to climb out of darkness, self-loathing and despair.

It gets better... if you want it to. I promise.

Some meds are, indeed, AWFUL. Geodon almost killed me.

Cannabis is very effective medicine, but unfortunately, it is illegal where I live.

cannabis doesn't work for me, I like the relaxing effects of it though, it would help me concentrate enough to watch a film but socially it makes me withdraw even further. I take Equasym for college, that helps me massively. And as for the girl who wishes to end it all, I think you should give yourself a chance at life, it's not that bad.

Its not exactly legal where I live either......so that is one downside.
