Just wondering who takes Buspar. I take 60mg a day. It doesn’t seem very popular as not many seem to take it.
I read it’s for short term use
All anxiety medications are “short term use” because of dependency and other issues but millions of people take them on a regular basis anyways
I wish they’d give me some but they refuse
Can’t you find another doctor, get a second opinion?
Yes I wish I could he wront go away
I don’t understand that comment. Just look up different doctors in your town, make an appointment, and get a prescription.
I’m with nhs I will not pay for doctor
That sucks.
I’ve been prescribed PRN lorazepam (ativan) 1mg for the last 15 years, never abused it, never became dependent on it, never had a problem getting a prescription.
I will mention that to my stubborn doctor
I am on klonopin daily as well.
Sounds like you need a new doctor.
I have resorted to drinking wine
Good luck @shellys12
Ask him for a small trial prescription, maybe just 5 1mg pills of lorazepam (ativan).
You won’t become dependent on that, even if you were to take it everyday for 5 days.
Tell your doctor you will only take it when absolutely necessary. I only take it if I am having a panic attack, which is now very rare for me. If I have a little anxiety I take l-theanine or calmaid(silexan) and just try to focus on stuff to keep my mind occupied on something other than the anxiety and take deep breaths.
Thanks @Headspark I’m seeing him in a week
I’m on clozapine so maybe it’s not recommend with that
oh, clozapine complicates things, not a lot mixes with that. Then your doctor is probably right not to mix the two drugs.
Yes I’m sure that there is good reason
I’m on Clozapine as well.
@shellys12 Ask your doctor for a clonazepam prescription then as @GrayBear seems to be okay mixing the too. Clonazepam is good for anxiety too.
Yes thanks I will
I’ve been on seroxat twenty years now it used to work well
