Unknown,
It seems even Dr.'s don't always agree on how medicines work and what they work best for. I have Panic disorder and my Dr. said that most research has shown that Buspar is not highly effective for PD. He admits it does take the edge off for some folks with minor episodes of PD but isn't as effective for moderate or severe PD.
There may be reasons your Dr. is going this route. Make sure you keep good communication going between yourself and your physician and give it some time. It can take 4-6 weeks to see real results with most meds used for PD. Many people don't allow the medicine enough time to become effective before they are moving on to something else. Unfortunately as PD sufferers we have to be patient and give whatever therapy we're using adequate time to calm our symptoms. Hang in there and make sure you let your Dr. know how things are going for you-----then the two of you can make a good decision about how to proceed. :)
Does anyone have any positive results using this drug?
I started it with Wellbutrin, I've been on wellbutrin first for a while, then stopped to find something to combat the anxiety directly, tried imipramine then remeron, both with pretty bad results, then went to Buspar and wellbutrin...
Wellbutrin worked wonders for my mood and coping ability, but nothing for the anxiety. It didn't make it any worse tho. Buspar since added has made the anxiety levels increase drastically. My Dr suggests staying on it for a little while longer to see if it works. I hear it takes longer than others for whatever reason.
*sigh*
The only period i was panic free was when my old doctor had me on Effexor and zyprexa. (misdiagnosis because of stupidity grr.) That only lasted for amonth since Zyprexa is HORRIBLE. i gained 15 lbs in that month....i slept all the time and was generally numb to everything.
I wonder if i should try a different Antipsychotic?
I just need something to get me thru the wait until CBT. ANYTHING!!
:mad:
