I've determined that Buspirone was having a negative effect on me (only on about 10mg total divided twice a day.) Since gently decreasing the dose (by just pulling a small chunk of the pill) I've been suffering extreme drowsiness over the last three days. Definitely need to sleep at least 10 hours (it's not really the melancholic depression "can't get out of bed", but just needing that amount of sleep.) Daytime drowsiness has seemed to get a little better, but it was really severe the first day. Certainly no noticeable mood improvement like I had when stopping Lyrica. Was hoping to feel a little less crappy.
So would anyone happen to know what's going on? Should drowsiness be considered a reasonable pharmodynamic response to tapering Buspirone? I'm not sure what to do with this stuff...
