Hello everyone,
I am currently on 8 mg gabitril to control my highs and lows. I have pretty bad gad, but I have problems getting used to the SSRIs. I am planning on starting Buspar today and I am pretty excited. Does anyone know how Buspar is taking by itself or with a drug like Gabitril. Ive tried all the SSRIS, and never made it past the two week point due to the awful side effects. Please, if you have positive experiences with Buspar, please share them with me.
> Don't mean to add to your concern . . . however, my husband was prescribed Buspar for anxiety. After one weeks, his heart rate kept dropping... down to 35. Stopped the BuSpar and he was fine. (A friend takes it and it works like a champ) Like you, I'm very hesitant about taking meds (especially new meds) but, like you, I have the "remedies" in the cabinet and take as needed. I've had such bad reactions from some meds that there's a reactive anxiety so I have to weed through carefully what will work and won't work for me. I can pop Percodan like candy and no effect. Xanax sends me up the wall in a NY second.
