No, I think Buspar would have to be taken twice daily on an ongoing basis, not PRN

Atarax/Vistaril could be taken PRN, but would probably be more effective if taken regularly, with perhaps an extra PRN dose when needed.

One I didnt think of at fiorst that would again need to be taken each day would be mirtazapine - as well as being a robust antidepressant, it has a potent antianxiety effect, I think that he should try Atarax, Buspar and Mirtazapine alone and in combination before going down the path of geodon or any other atypical.

I'm glad I have a good response to benzos, and no tolorance/dependence issues, it makes things so much easier!


> > You may well be right scott, but given that he has failed on numerous benzos, his options seem to be hydroxyzine, buspar, or failing that, one of the atypicals..... and I thought of geodon because it has less sedative and metabolic effects than the others, and (as per that study) has some evidence base for PRN use in anxiety.
