Does medications really help Asperger Syndrome itself?

I took creatine supplement about 15 years back as I was going to the gym and wanted to build muscle.

What I never expected within a couple of days my mind was clearer than it ever had been.

Vocabulary that were blocked suddenly became unblocked and the brain fog had cleared.

I felt I was becoming more intelligent.

Creatine is supposedly safe but there are nagging doubts about long term use as it can put stress on your kidneys.

So I stopped after a few weeks then occasionally took again for short bursts.

The effects were the same but today the effects are noticeable but smaller than that of 15 years ago.

There is complex links between the body mitochondrial system/ autism symptoms and creatine so maybe that explains it?

Creatine has also shown to increase memory too in scientific studies

I would recommend anyone give it a go to see if it has the same effect on them. They sell it everywhere these days like health food shops, even seen it in body building chocolate bars in supermarkets that taste horrible.

I wouldn’t advise long term use though.

Also if you give blood it will be rejected as the creatine will be picked up falsely as a blood problem

I got nothing substantial. For now.


And for now, lemon balm tea does something for me.
Not taking it for aspergers or it's comorbidities.
I was taking it specifically an attempt for my PMS symptoms.

I've only known it for about 2 weeks now. I don't take it regularly, the most I did was 3 nights in a row.
Yet to try on different phases of cycles.

It just removes the overwhelm and pain induced stress and emotional stress related symptoms.
It makes me not-impatient, settles the reactive and involuntary part of my head from having a bigger pull over my actions.

It's supposed to have an effect on sleep -- didn't do much with mine in quality and quantity.
But it's better than melatonin in my own case.

It doesn't solve my working memory issues and other aspects of executive function.
No long term results yet. I've yet to think if I should invest at all.


I cannot take caffeine. Not without feeling jetlagged. Same with melatonin.
I don't know why I get the same type of discomfort even with the supposed opposite effects -- and the effects are not "more sleepy and groggy" and "more awake and alert" respectively, and more like body's perceived time tables moved left and right and equally just as irritable.

Never tried any actual psych meds psychiatric conditions.
Never tried illicit substances.

Never tried anything beyond vitamins so far. Magnesium doesn't to much. Same with calcium. Same can be said when combined... Specifically for PMS and not for autism.
Maybe some fasting... But I can't do that regularly -- not with worrywarts around.

The rest -- doesn't do much for me.
Antihistamines doesn't do me favors, and it's intended effects do not work even.

CBD seems to ease off my "uncomfortable in my own body" symptoms. But it doesn't work on me if the dose isn't fairly large.

A prescription blood-pressure lowering drug didn't help my anxiety, and I've been led to think that the only help for it is either to figure out that the danger doesn't matter that much, or to remove the danger. There's always the perceived risk of something seriously nasty at the root of it.

I haven't tried any medications to improve my executive function, and probably wouldn't want to.

I don't take anything to help my social performance. Somehow I can't believe medications would be a bit of help with that, and they might blur my judgement.

dhc is addictive, so it could be intoxication, I don't want to be intoxicated all the time and having to go to six different pharmacies etc.

Creatine sounds interesting though
