Medication

I’ve been on anti anxiety medication since around a year before we got the diagnosis, and I’ve never felt ready to come off them. I see my doctor every 3 months for a chat and my new prescription and at my last appointment we talked about reducing the dose. I was unsure but I was back this week and I got a prescription for half the dose. She said if I feel I’m not coping, I can take 2 tablets.

I’ve realised that I am coping with my son alot better now but I still struggle with my husband’s reactions. He doesn’t cope well when our son is having ‘autistic moments’ and I find dealing with him really hard.

So, I will just need to see how the lower dose is. It’s not something I want to be taking forever, so this is the first step in coming off them completely.

Wish me luck!
