I'm autistic with AvPD. The last two months have been some of the worst I've ever had. I'm constantly anxious about everything, I'm terrified of people and I don't know how to deal with them, which is one of the main reasons I have such a hard time sticking to any job. I don't feel like doing anything anymore. Hobbies that I loved last year? I don't care about them now. I can't think straight and I feel like I'm going crazy.That's why I'm asking, should I try medication? A year ago I took pregabalin 75 mg. The first two days I felt amazing, I could still feel the anxiety, but it was so muffled that I literally didn't care. But after that, I didn't feel any different. I took it for a month and it genuinely made no difference for me. That's why I never tried other meds. But now I'm wondering if the dose was just too low or if I needed something else entirely.What do you think? Should I get something? I'm desperate. I want to feel in control of my life again. I don't want to be controlled by irrational fears and emotions anymore.
>>3436125975mg of pregabalin is nothing; you should be taking 300mg per day. Or perhaps try another medication like propranolol or a benzodiazepine.
>>34361912Oh, I forgot to mention, I was taking two 75 mg capsules a day, so 150 mg total per day>you should be taking 300mg per dayWhy do you think that?>propranolol Does it help you?
there's no such thing as autism.
>>34361952>Why do you think that?Because the maximum dose of pregabalin sold is 300mg per capsule. If 150mg per day isn't enough, perhaps 300mg will suffice.>>34361952>Does it help you?I think I've been using propranolol for about a week now. I prefer benzodiazepines, but this one is good.
>>34361259I'm sorry to hear that. I love darkest dungeon though!
>>34362342Had some pregabalin pills left over since I didn’t finish the last batch, so I took it again yesterday just to see what happens.Holy shit, I feel AMAZING right now! No worries at all, anxiety is completely gone, the intrusive thoughts have stopped, I’ve started smiling again and I’m actually feeling cheerful!Yeah, I’m 100% convinced now that I need meds. But definitely a higher dose>>34362981I’ve got an appointment with my psychiatrist on wednesday, so I should start feeling better soon.The first darkest dungeon is awesome! I heard the second one is kinda mid though. Have you played it?
