IsoM,
> About bruxism:
I am a chronic nail biter so I know what you mean. I have been able to cut way down on biting my nails, tough habit to break but over the past few years I have done a much better job at it.
> Are you sure the Buspar is helping? It works great for many people but for some, it can increase muscle tension & anxious feelings.I think it is helping me. I just think the effects are so small I'm not sure that it is helping out enough. It's kinda hard to say.
>
> Do you only get an upset stomach when you become anxious or worried. If life is completely calm with no outside influences, will your stomach ever be upset then? The reason I'm asking is because IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) can tie in with neurotransmitter problems.I would say this is definitely IBS related. Whenever I get highly stressed out my stomach gets upset. This makes me want to be shy away from people. So if I have a lot of food in my stomach, it tends to make me almost agorophobic because I am afraid I will get sick in front of people, which has happened in the past. But get me on an empty stomach and I can do just about anything I want with relatively little anxiety. Have you had pretty good success then with the meds you have now? I live in the US, I wonder what kind of availability if any there is here.
Thanks,
Toast
