Clonazepam an Aspie's happy pill

Post Reply New Topic

I've never had clonazepam. I've had some diazepam recently because my anxiety has been especially bad and it is awesome - I feel normal for the first time in I don't know how long. It's great Sadly about to take the last pill of my prescription; lets hope the doctor will give me some more when I see him ^^

If that's true, how do you get your doctor to prescribe it for you? J/K...sort of. I'm taking lamictal, Abilify, and Wellbutrin for Bi-Polar, and if anything, the Aspie traits are worse.

I prefer both. Klonopin calms me down, but the Red Bull keeps me concentrating, and I find it to be extremely tasty to boot!

It increases GABA.

People with ASDs are deficient in GABA.

I felt the dame about diazepam. Unfortunately my doctor won't prescribe it any more. I've been on lamotrogine, amisulpride and promethezine (currently only amisulpride and on daily dispense because of my recent overdoses), but nothing has been as good as the diazepam. My psychiatrist says that diazepam works on the same part of the brain as wine ... so maybe I should break my teetotalism and start drinking...

My experience is that every autistic person differs in the brainchemistry and that it is hard to tell wich ones are high in the brain and wich ones are low, even if you know the disorder.
Espessially because many have also comorbidities.

To make an example:
I totally freak out when you give me antipsychotics who lowers dopamine, but a friend of mine, who is also autistic experiences positive effects on the same medications.
