In reply to Re: Anyone have anything positive to say about Buspar?, posted by Tony P on April 23, 2001, at 2:18:19
>Hi Tony ,
Thank you for responding. I am awaiting samples
of the Buspar from the doc as we speak. He starting
me out at 5mg for first 3 days, then 10 mg next 3,
15 mg e days and so forth until we reach 30 mg.I am curious, as I am very sensitive to drugs.
(Note the time I wrote this...would have been
earlier as I have been up since 4am from Wellbutrin
and I also take 1.5mg Klonopin and I still
get up that early AND I am a gardener/landscaper
and I should be exhausted...my fear is this
will all catch up with me and I will collapse)
Anyway, you said it made you energetic, so I am inclined to think
to think most people would get insomnia from it
I have read that it causes insomnia or sedation.
Do you feel really tired and then whamo you are
wida awake? I guess I have to try in the am because
if I take one more thing that keeps me awake then
I will be up at midnight with only 3 hrs. of sleep.Let me know what you think. Most people I have read
have said it makes them feel like a percolator!
It is suggested to me for anxiety and I think doc here
gets the feeling it will help with
depression. Wellbutrinis very motivating and keeps
me focused and helps me maintain an intellligent
conversation (it does nothing for my spelling)
My doc is somewhat openminded...he lets me call
alot of shots, but he is no dummy. Infact he is
one of the most brilliant shrinks I have seen
in a long time, but he is so pricey I have to
keep visits brief and notes and phone calls
brief (he'll charge for those if you can believe it)
I asked about Serzone as I wanted to try it, but
he said it was not his favorite, we were talking something
for anxiety and thisis why ithink he said this, so
we are going for buspar. Is it really expensive??
That's a big worry, I did some research andI see
120 for 60.let me know your thougts again and thank you also!!
