12. Nervous-system problems

The nervous system is extremely sensitive in AS people. Fatigue and overwork do no good. We must also mention neuroleptic medicines, anxiolytics and all sorts of sleeping pills, sedatives and stimulants that affect the nervous system beneath the skin. An AS person can become completely destabilised and have serious nervous crises even with antihistamines. Think before taking or prescribing medication for an AS person; solutions are more likely to be found in psychotherapeutic techniques. Withdrawal from medication can last more than a year or even two.
