Asperger's and pharmaceutical tolerance

Post Reply New Topic

Drugs, whether they be pharmoceuticals or illegal, have never worked on me. Well, i lie. Pot just makes me ret*d.

For some reason when I used Valium (diazepam), I needed at least 20 mg to experience a therapeutic effect of anxiolysis, as opposed to many other NTs who get effects at 5 - 10 mg on their first dose.

It was strange, and for a while I hypothesized that I may have innately reduced GABA activity, hence the higher dose required to achieve the same effect.

I was given 10mg diazepam in A&E once and I had a dramatic paradoxical reaction: I flew into a rage and had to be restrained :/

I was given morphine after an operation and that, as opposed to making me sleepy (as well as its painkilling effects), I was awake for three days straight and on a constant high. It was horrible.

I cannot tolerate injected adrenaline (like at the dentist when they put adrenaline in the anaesthetic to prevent te anaesthetic spreading systemically) as it, opposed to making my blood pressure higher, it makes me have a severe hypotensive episode. But I think this one is related to my antipsychotic usage.
