I have Aspergers syndrome and night-time psychoses, my medication is 25mg of Amitriptyline and 25mg of Diphenhydramine at bedtime, my doctor can give me a prescription for the Amitriptyline but cannot prescribe me Diphenhydramine because it is not a NHS prescribable drug so I have to buy it myself from a pharmacy.
I asked him about taking Triptafen which is a mixture of Amitriptyline and Perphenazine, but he said that using an antipsychotic drug can cause bad side effects.
I go to to a meeting with other people who have AS and that helps me with the social and communication problems that I have.
But even when I was a child I had night-time psychoses, so when I wanted to sleep my brain would keep on thinking about things and working things out, as well as all the noises and voices in my head, as well as all the hallucinations and nightmares.
I know that many other people with AS also have night-time psychoses, but it seems that medical professionals have very little understanding about it.
