This is day 2 of starting meds for my anxiety. I went to the doctor, as recommended by the lovely people on here and friends of mine. I had a 45 appointment where we talked about my mental health and it ended with the lady saying she thinks I'm autistic and that I should seek a diagnosis. I also got a prescription for anxiety meds, some anti-depressants.
I couldn't feel them on the first day of use but today I feel them. I have been feeling headachy all day, but also in another way better than I have in a long long time, there was no anxiety. I didn't feel unusually happy, just the right amount but it was the lack of anxiety and the quietening of my mind which I noticed the most. I was still stimming and doing my usual oddball behaviour but it was absent of anxiety. I think this may actually be a break through for me. I have started to notice it wearing off near midnight, but other than that so far, so good.
