Hi,
I've found this forum after being prescribed new meds and have found it helpful, so thought I would join.
After being diagnosed with depression and personality disorder 5 years ago, I've been told, after a lengthy wait, that I probably don't have a personality disorder but definitely have Asperger's/Austism spectrum disorder, anxiety and issues with eating. I managed to function with increased difficulty alone with what have been called "coping mechanisms" but once these failed to protect me from the outside world, I suffered a breakdown and seizures. I've been put on various meds (citalopram, mirtazepine, escitalpram etc) and found these to be of little or no use, the side effects worse than any improvement and generally putting me in a zombie-like state. Now I've been prescribed lofepramine and clonazepam and have just gone through the first 24 hrs of lofepramine, but I don't want to start the clonazepam until I've gotten the lofepramine fully into my system to see what each does. Does anyone have any experience of these two meds in conjunction?
There's more to say, however, I just want to say hello for now and be brief.
