> I've lurked abit trying to get up the courage to take the Buspar that was prescribed for anxiety. I had a terrible experience with paxil ending in the ER.

> I really, really, want to feel normal. I was almost there when my doctor prescribed 3.75 mg clorazepate 3x a day. After a week I was starting to skip doses and I didn't even "need" it on the weekends. When the 'script ran out, after two weeks, the doctor changed it to buspar. This was in March. I still have two pills left but I'm saving them - just having them with me, makes me feel more "in control".

> I have in my medicine cabinet: Buspar, zoloft, and the demon pill paxil. I won't take any of them.

> How is this for torture. I feel like maybe buspar might help me but I'm terrified of taking it. I took one, but immediately after swallowing I got the anxiety attack from hell because I took it. Does that make any sense?
>
> So anyway my question is, is it really terrible to stay on clorazepate? That is if I can convince some doctor somewhere that I'm not a druggie. maybe with the clorazepate, I can take the buspar. I just don't know.I would get off clorazepate if i were you. My dad took clorazepate and now he is addicted to it. The docs say it will be 5 years till he is off. When he don't take it, omg panics from hell. Watch out for this drug. I myself am taking buspar 15mg twice a day said to be the safest around. don't know if its working really but its only been 10 days.
