Can I ask for your experiences?
I have been asked by a family who have a son on the autistic spectrum, with severe anxiety issues that evolve into aggressive behaviour. They are currently discussing medication but are very reluctant due to the possible side effects.
I've tried Sertraline for my DD for similar reasons, aswell as OCD type behaviours, but unsucessfully! Although it did help with her anxiety levels, she had some seriously massive meltdowns of the like we'd not seen before whilst on them, so I weaned her off them.
It'd be great to hear any other experiences to pass onto her.. thanksx
