22 year old autistic male here... hi...

Post Reply New Topic

Hi everyone... how are you all. Hope you're well.

I'm not exactly a regular on this site, for I'm kind of confused when I come here sometimes... I get overwhelmed quick at things, and so on... but I'm a 22 year old autistic male who has major OCD, panic disorder, anxiety trouble, and depression... I'm on Zoloft 50mg... I was just on Clomipramine 50mg but it was making me so sick my psychiatrist had to take me off of it.

I feel so lost... before 2005 *I was also once a binge drinker but I'm off it for 92 days now* I was so passionate about life, my self, my site, my work... now I feel all emo like... sure I always had depression/anxiety in the back of my mind as a youth, but ever since November 2005 when I went through my first alcohol withdrawal the crap hit the fan... well anyway... I'm also disabled with autism/learning disorder so I don't work I get disability, and uh... man it's hard to admit that I'm semi ret*d but it feels like I am... man... what a hand I've been dealt in life.

Well... if anyone has AIM/AOL and wants to IM me my name on it is PaulostheSpy... well... c-ya all.

hi!

Glad you're here and hope you find lots of fellowship.

Welcome back to WP!

t-thanks..

Pleased to meet you, Paulos. And all the best to you and to your "gamelegacies" site.

You don't sound the least bit ret*d. What gave you an idea like that?

My... feelings of how I can't handle anything, how I cry so much lately, how I've been such a stress to my mother, how everything such as the world seems overwhelming ... how I stick to just certain things I like... can't read/focus too well... I feel so terrible.

Maybe you should try talking to the doctor. I was on Paxil and now my brain feels so weird and empty a lot. Hard to describe. I don't think I was like this before the Paxil experience. Maybe your brain is missing the Zoloft or having a post Zoloft effect?

and hi, btw

How long have you been on zoloft? Did it work before? Some people need to cycle SSRIs. How long off the clomipramine? The crazymeds.us people (who describe themselves as "autistic-bipolar-epileptic uberspazzen") say they all have a crappy time with TCAs.
