> This is strange - my original post about second trial of meds disappeared from here and it did not archive - the ones right before and after it are still here. Anyway, question - I've read on here that if you stop a med, then start up on it later on (I'm guessing like months) it may not work the second time around. What about a few DAYS? I went off Buspar (pdoc and my experiment) and my anxiety rose and I had trouble falling asleep so he put me back on it. I was off it less than a week? Would this make a difference in its efficacy? Is this really a *second* time around or more like a few missed doses? Thanks to whoever can help.
You would probably have to give it a couple of weeks at least to be sure. I've never experienced that sort of problem with stops/starts of meds. With some time they always seemed to do the things they had done previously. Also, *worrying* about whether it will work again probably is reinforcing itself some :) (been there done that). Why did you and your pdoc decide to experiment with stopping-did you feel that it wasn't do anything for you?
