Hi Michael: I've now been back to my Pdoc. He told me he'd never heard of Adderall being used for GAD, unless there was a suspicion of ADD too!
Anyway, he's agreed that BuSpar 30mg has done very little for me and the side effects outweigh it's usefulness. So...HOORAY!...I can take klonopin only, for a month to see if it's all I need. I am taking .5mg to 1mg per day. My doc will be looking for signs of tolerance at my next visit, as well as efficacy for GAD.
I'm quickly tapering off the BuSpar and taking .5mg daily of Klonopin right now ( 4 days), and feel good! Yeay!
The next med he will consider is the RIMA, maclobemide (Manerix), but I will ask him about neurontin at that time. Thanks for your interest!
