help please what medicine help ! i can only feel logical . i feel nothing. EVERYTHING FEELS POINTLESS.

There isn't anything (directly) for aspergers, but you sound like you might have some sort of depression, perhaps or something along those lines. If you're certain drugs are the way forwards, I'd recommend seeing a doctor about it.

Are you sure you have Asperger's? From what I understand we all have feelings, I certainly do, but we don't understand them as well as NTs. I suggest talking to a psychiatrists, I suspect you have other issues, instead of or in addition to Asperger's. Drugs wont help Asperger's but they might help the other conditions.

well im on mitrazapine (depression ) it hase removed the buzz and the dizzy feeling and the virus feeling in my brain. BUT IT STILL FEELS POINTLESS!

Being on Mirtazapine made everything feel entirely pointless to me, same with SSRIs, but Mirtazapine was actually the worst antidepressant I ever took. It was so awful that I felt I must kill myself to end it. Luckily I returned back to normal after I stopped taking it. Maybe you should just do the same. It is pretty controversal if antidepressants do even work at all (in comparison with active placebos) and they have a load of mental and physical side effects.

I don't know why but I'm afraid of meds, always have been. It took me a long time (3 years) to decide whether or not to go on the pill because I was worried it might make me put on weight, so I had to choose between continuing to get agonising period pains or go on the pill and risk putting on weight, and one week I had such bad period pains that made me almost throw up that I made myself see the doctor and she put me on the pill, and I've been on it about 4 years now and haven't gained weight, and my periods have been more bearable since. The doctor also pointed out that the best thing to do is to go on meds for my periods, if they were interferring with my life, which they were.

But my anxiety and depression is also interferring with my life. It's stopping me from enjoying myself and having fun. There's a concert what my family wants to see in August, and we've got to book the tickets in advance, which is stressing me out because I still don't know if I want to go or not. It's all the people that will be there what is causing anxiety, and my anxiety of people is really interferring with my life because it is preventing me from wanting to go out and have fun while I'm young and healthy. So I was thinking of taking meds for these social anxieties, it might not make it go away but I've been told that they will make me relax a bit more and not get so stressed out and miserable, and I think I will enjoy events better if I knew how to relax more. But, like I said, I'm so afraid of meds, so I don't know. I'm worried it might cause side effects, like nausea and sleep difficulties, and nausea and sleep difficulties are what I don't actually suffer with (which is odd for an anxious person, but is brilliant). Ahh! What do I do??? Be miserable in social situations, or feel sick and have sleepless nights?

it aint the mitrazapine its my f*****g brain ^^

You sound depressed. The pointless feelings are a common trait of depression. The med you are on is obviously not working well enough for you, so tell your psych doc. He/she can try you out on something else. Because every person has a different biochemistry there is no one drug that is right for everyone, so it can take a while to find the right med for you. But don't waste time moaning about it--talk to your doc, pronto.

I use cannabis. In the evenings when the kids are in bed and I am alone. It allows me to relax and experience feelings I generally don't feel. I understand it lacks legality in many places but it is a vegatable and it has been very beneficial for me. I don't use any other medicine legal or otherwise. I own my computer company and I don't do drug tests.

I heard there is one for anxiety, which can be helpful for people on the spectrum. Well not sure if that goes for everybody, but it does for me, because anxiety is my main issue what interferes with my daily life. If I could ease my anxiety levels down a bit by medication, I think it would take a lot of pressure off of me emotionally, and I might be able to enjoy the things around me a bit better.

Unfortunately I don't remember what this medication is called. My social worker was just suggesting it to me a few months ago, but try asking your doctor about it.
