I'm thinking of halving my dose or quitting it altogether as it's begun to really worry me. I will be asking...

I've recently started taking Lexapro (also known as Cipralex in some countries) to treat depression and anxiety. I'm just wondering if anyone else here has taken it, or is currently taking it, and what experiences you've had with it. For the first three days I took 5mg and I'm now on the 4th day of ...

It was a doctor at a mental health centre. He said that he's going to speak to a consultant and get back to me tomorrow about whether or not they've decided to send me to a psychologist.

I sort of have a couple. For almost every day for the past year, I've had mackerel sandwiches at some point during the day. For the year before that, I had the same exact salad every day. I also have a routine about preparing and eating food. For example, I always have to have potatoes on the left s...

Sorry in advance if my post is excessively long. I went to a doctor today in an attempt to get diagnosed with Asperger's and it didn't go too well. Before I say anymore I guess I should give a list of some of the symptoms I have in common with it: Difficulty making small talk/conversation (not just ...

Don’t be put off by the lack of response to your queries, I don’t think folk on wrong planet are familiar with any medical procedures in Ireland. Although it wasn’t a full out diagnosis of autism, I was told I had Aspergers when I stayed in Strabane co.tyrone by two doctors, they were really helpfu...

Hi, hopefully I've posted this in the right forum. I'm going to be going for a mental health assessment (not just for Asperger's syndrome but also for depression and social anxiety) and I'm just wondering about a few things. What exactly does such an assessment involve? Also, roughly how long would ...
