And while BuSpar has been brought up before in my treatment, it's always been brought up as, "Well, there is this drug, but it's not helpful for most people, and you have to stay on it for a long time to see if it's going to help, and it's probably better to take a benzo for anxiety, or a sedating AD..." Or an atypical AP. Generally, just NOT good reviews from the doctors who've mentioned it.
Guess what? It helps me a LOT. And it started kicking in after less than a month, although it's not perfect, and it is causing almost too much sedation even at 5mg three times a day. {sigh} But I'm hoping that once we can add back in a stimulant, maybe things will turn around for me, too!
I agree, though, that it can be a wonderful drug if it helps you. It's helping me enough that I'll stick with it as long as I can, unless I get too much more sedated by it.
Oh, and Jerry? Not only am I thrilled to see that you're doing so very much better than you were, but I'm also very happy to see you in school! That's certainly a sign of how much improvement you've had. {smile}
