In reply to BuSpar and pdoc frustration, posted by zeugma on October 26, 2003, at 19:47:17

> I can empathise with your frustration with BuSpar. But my pdoc loves it, and yours probably does too. He knows I'm still anxious as hell, and he sits there and checks his notes and tells me to raise the BuSpar dose to 40mg. I remind him that I tried that six weeks ago and got questionable anxiety relief, but also debilitating muscle weakness that got worse the longer I took it at that dose. But pdocs love it because it's so 'benign.' He told me point blank that he's not going to prescribe me anything else for my anxiety. So now I'm sitting here feeling anxious and physically drained, and wondering when i can find the will to ditch him and find someone better.

>Ditch him.
i did mine who had the same attitude, and i am so grateful for the pdoc i found after that. The new pdoc knows, perscribes for and remembers: me/my mental-physical individuality. -Not the med publications, finito.
(and Buspar's a joke, IMHO)
Ditch him.
