Wow, Ive been told I was just a “drug seeker” because pain medication doesn’t really work on me either so I ask for stronger things. I also get used to meds very easily and I went up so high on my prescription of benzos that they kicked me off of them all together because they thought I was abusing them. Now I’m too anxious and am prone to more meltdowns to have a job so I’m applying for disability. I always feel like I’m doing something “bad” now or that I’m faking it because that’s what I hear all the time from other people. It’s nice to hear I’m not alone and that it’s just my neurology, not me trying to abuse medication.
Oh no, so sorry to hear that. Have you tried to search for a different doctor experienced with autism in females? And maybe explain to them that you are definitely not the only autistic with those problems! I hope that helps!!
@@theartisticautist3123 I’ve tried to find a therapist like that in the past but the waiting list is so long I gave up. I’ll try again on Monday. Thanks for the reminder!
I also have unusual responses to many medications. When I was prescribed certain SSRIs for depression, I would get extremely bad discontinuation syndrome if I took a tablet even only 1 hour late. If I missed a tablet, I’d be non-functional, unable to stand or speak and in total mental anguish. I am having promising results now being prescribed medicinal cannabis. I wonder if autism may be related to a disregulated endocannabinoid system. Any thoughts?
What I found out doing some quick research is that they think that a disregulated endocannaboid system is connected with autism. And I myself had some trouble the next day if I forgot to take my sleeping meds...
Interesting and educational video.
❤️❤️
