In getting my daughter diagnosed with Aspergers in addition to her Down Syndrome, I have also now been diagnosed with Aspergers. Are there other moms here with it and have you found medications and or supplements that help you? What else helps?
I am currently taking Desipramine but recently had to be reduced on my dosage due to my bloodlevels being too high. At the higher dose I thought I was doing well and functioning fairly well but on the lower dose I am having difficulty with focus and low energy/depression.
For anxiety I am doing really well with Calcium with D softgels(NOT tablets).
For the short term memory problems I have found that a high dose of Evening Primrose Oil softgels make it possible to tell you what I did this morning instead of waiting 3 days...
I am feeling good about the diagnosis because it validates what I have known for years. Right now I am mostly struggling with finding what works for other adults in hopes of having some direction for further follow up with my doctors.
