Dear Cam,
Thank you for more Buspar info. I am very curious
if it could conceivably work as an SSRI would. I liked
certain aspects of Celexa...the ability to rid me
of my social ineptness or anxiety. I sure feel inept
because of it. I am going to talk over Buspar again
with pdoc. My wonder is if it can work all by its
lonesome without augmentation of any kind. I did not
feel jumpy on it, but I was not on very long. It
made me tired, nausea, headache as we upped dose
every 3 days. I have extreme levels of anxiety.
My brain runs full speed ahead around the clock. If
I am obsessing, I am reseaching or anything. There
is no shutoff valve unless I take klonopin at
night and during the day if I get that vice on my
head feeling. The problem I have (well, let's face
it , one of the problems!) is SSRIs make me feel
flat and I need my emotions to do some of my otherwork (writing
mostly and photography projects) Wellbutrin
was great for cognition, but I have alot of that, but
focus was good with WB. I am torn between staying
off all meds and just get to a point where I can take
Klonopin prn. It 's a goal, attainable , i don't know.
Thoughts?there's my longwinded recital....
by the way, I forwarded one of your posts to me onto
my therapist who found your counsel quite good and'useful to her!
You have been extremelyhelpful. Therapists and
lay people need and want to understand to the
best of their ability some of the inner workings
of all this stuff and it clarifies things, even
if I don't understand evrything, I get a much
greater picture that helps me cope. Thank you.Paige
