    Hi 
    It would be inappropriate for anyone on the internet to suggest whether or not anyone else should take medication.

    @Babyrose it sounds like you could do with chatting with someone who understands, have you ever been in touch with the National Autistic Society? You can call them on 0808 800 4104

    Hi @Barrettd as @Babyrose had already shared this post, I don't want to delete it as others may be able to offer their experiences and offer support but I did just want to make it clear to everyone that we cant allow any medical advice on the community, I hope you can understand.

    I am speaking from experience, you obviously have Internet rules.

    Regards Mrs Barrett.
