> You could try a low dose of an anti-psychotic (risperidone). You could also try Neurontin or Buspirone. Buspirone is an anti-anxiety med and isn't addictive like a benzo or a barbiturate. It does take time to start working though like a SSRI. But it is another route which should be effective. Most likely moreso than the SSRI's.
I've had my eye on Buspar ever since I started to withdrawal from Paxil for "just in case". I've read previous posts here and some say good and others hate it? How do you know what to do. Can you take BuSpar for a long period of time? I assumed my anxiey/panic attacks were caused from a health "scare" before but now they are back. Maybe I'm just going to be an anxious person from now on. Who knows! I don't mind being long time "friends" with a med but I don't want to jump around on different meds and I would like one that works. I guess that's what we all want though. Thanks to all that answered my previous post and this one too. lrc
