In reply to I'm thinking Prozac+BuSpar - any comments?, posted by Meri-Tuuli on December 5, 2005, at 6:56:23
Hi Meri
>I was on Prozac before, but I stopped because of it aggrevating my anxiety.......
You could ask for a prescription for fluoxetine oral solution 20mg/5mL. Your doctor probably won't have prescribed the oral solution before so you may have to inform him that YES, it does exist ;-)
Given your previous reaction to fluoxetine you'll need to start at a very low dose. You'll need a 5mL oral syringe to measure the dose - the pharmacy will supply one if you ask. You could start with as little as 0.5mL-1mL/day ie. 2-4mg/day ....and then increase the dose as necessary.
>I hope BuSpar is available in the UK!
Buspirone IS available - but it's rarely used.
