Overview
Medical treatments used in Asperger Syndrome include: stimulants, a-2 adrenergic agonists, atypical antipsychotics, antidepressants and anticonvulsants.[1] Many studies believe that medications alone can not improve Asperger Syndrome's (AS) symptoms and other complementary interventions (social and behavioral) are required.[1]
Medical Therapy
- Many studies believe that medications alone can not improve Asperger Syndrome's (AS) symptoms and other complementary interventions (social and behavioral) are required.[1]
- Medications used in Asperger Syndrome (AS) include:[1]
- Stimulants such as methylphenidate and amphetamines (for comorbidity between AS and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD))
- a-2 adrenergic agonists such as clonidine and guanfacine (treatment of aggression, anxiety and Tourette syndrome (TS) which are associated with AS)
- Atypical antipsychotics such as aripiprazole, olanzapine, ziprasidone (treatment of aggression, hallucinations, hyperactivity, irritability, anxiety, depression in AS patients)[2]
- Antidepressantssuch as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (treatment of depressive disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) associated with AS)
- Anticonvulsants(for aggression, mood disorders, irritability, repetitive behaviors in AS)[3]
