In the past I was prescribed buspirone. It’s for anxiety, but not addictive

I take Klonopin and Buspar. 
Buspar was a crazy drug. I dreamt of radioactivity a lot.

I take Buspirone. I think it helps with anxiety. What I’ve noticed it helps with is repetitive thoughts. That’s one of the reasons I’m on it.

Sadly buspar is not available in my country
Is there any alternative?

I took L-Theanine when I was getting a bit of anxiety from caffeine use. I think many members use it. As far as I know it’s a safe supplement and might provide some relief.
Edit: See post below for precautions
That is too bad. I’m not sure about an alternative. Maybe ask your doctor. 
I took Klonopin for a good while, but I abused it, so the doctor took me off of it.
It may or may not be safe long term though…
Could provide some temporary relief anyway.
Should probably talk to doctor before taking.

My pdoc put me on vortioxetine which helped. He then added olanzapine (on top of my main ap) in a small dose and it does the trick.
I have twice gotten my PCP to prescribe me valium. My pdoc is not happy with this or with her. He asked to have her number last time but i guess they never ended up talking because she has prescribed me other things. He wants the mental health stuff be left to him not a nurse practitioner. And honestly, he was right. I always tell him what im taking and this time i was prescribed valium in detox also and idk–i started having visual hallucinations and its addictive. I thought I was seeing into the 9th dimension, and it fueled my delusions and non-real thinking where i take everything as a new age sign…its something i really struggle with and leads to self destructive behaviors and thoughts–or impulsive thoughts/
we can all debate the meaning of life and quantum physics–but what scared me about the 9th dimension was that it was completely muted, quiet, and there was so many people i had never seen before, all projections of my consciousness, they would walk around then sit down and watch people maybe pray for them, it was weird–like if consciousness were the same kind of substance and they all had the exact same one. no one communicated but it felt like my mind at the same time and it was scary-- but in the last one a man broke the silence, and as if he had direct access or communication with God–said “I have to go back. Its too dangerous i have to save her.” I just made this all up in my head, I dont even know what the 9th dimension stands for it just sounded right and I was dying in the hospital so I was hallucinating a lot.
I was taking valium and not on abilify and had been off it a month. So I kept seeing these people between consciousness, sleeping waking etc. i would become lucid reaching out to touch them and it would be gone in the blink of an eye and it scared me like people were watching me went away after being taken off valium.
Abilify started working and my doctor told me not to take valium anymore. I think he prescribed topamax. But then my pulmonologist was looking through my meds and told me to get off as much medication as I could, and not to start topamax. So I never started it. In fact topamax could be why i ended up in ER in the first place it can cause pneumonia.
I plan on taking vitamin D and Folate to replace abilify in the future and I Dont have anxiety never have despite the label GAD. lol
I wonder if Im diagnosed with an anxiety not because of my personal experience but how people feel after talking to me…haha not how things are supposed to work. Just because you cant handle me doesnt mean I need to shut down for you, just because my light blinds you doesnt mean I should dim it so you can see…i thought of a good way to put it though–
Its like she was an angel with heavy wings driving a car through the darkest midnight–high beams on no one else could see because every time they passed her they were blinded by the light–but the closer she got to home the more dark and blurry-she was in no hurry- she knew the way by heart and all the signs were the same a lover she couldnt save, a Game, when it started to rain the sirens were after her but actually what she thought was an ambulance was a warrant, Querent-theory-AJ-Query. I make you anxious, sue the CDC maybe big pharma is just after me since I hacked the DNC. 4/20 Google youtube FDC. so many questions so many cues so many creations which one is the real you who did they replace you with slim whose my evil twin kim, im tired of jim i dont trust him-who killed tim timmy f everybody body replacement theory 21 21 conspiracy theories.
