Are you suggesting that possibly a drug such as Cymbalta or Effexor which inhibit norepi might be better for me? Or were you saying to stay away from those drugs, i.e. don't mess with Norepi ?
Also, while I have you hear, what are your thoughts on Lyrica, I see it's approved for neuropathic pain, but also got FDA approval for GAD. I hear it can be sedating and I have a bottle of it here 50mg tabs that one doc Rx'd me a while back, but I didn't stick with him and never took it. My Psych doc. pretty much gives me what I want if I can provide her supporting literature. We work together, which is what I love about her.
Lastly, let me ask your thoughts on this. The first two weeks while titrating up on the Buspar I was feeling anxiety free, this was at 7.5mg bid, well the doc wanted me higher, so I noticed the increase in anxiety which I know can occur when titrating the drug, so I dismissed it. But I got to 15mg T.I.D and have felt like sht while going up. Would you think going back to 7.5mg is worth a shot as I havn't dosed today at all. Thanks as always for your support.... BTW, I got my Stablon from Aurapharm and it came within 2 weeks.
