Hi again and thanks for the posts about buspar. I couldnt find the thread, so ill start here. Ive been around the block somewhat with all this stuff but even after 5 years havent found anything that works or anyone that will prescribe what does work. Clonazepam definitly works but only if im taking at least 1.5mgs a day and finding a doctor who will prescribe this will take 60 years+ at the rate im going (i live in canada you see, it takes a year to see a pdoc period) but maybe i have a shot with this doc now. his argument is that im so young that and its just generally not a good idea to use benzos long term. mattd i thought your argument was great but i cant find it. also my bro gave me his ativan after he found out he didnt have cancer (long story) and it seems to be even better than clono, but i here addiction/ dose escalation is more of a prob. anyway, i tried maois and ssris and a whack of other stuff that did nothing. Can any one offer any other advice? Anything that might work given the limited info given here? I feel better than normal at the moment, but in addition to the buspar 15 mgs i did take .5mg ativan this morning so it could still be that. Im crossing my fingers with the buspar though. Ya any suggestions would be great, and social anxiety is the main problem. Thanks
