This is my first time taking buspar without an SSRI. I was planning on making this a "positive experience" post but not sure that's going to happen...
Buspar is usually so helpful with concentration, reading, and obsessive thinking plus, for some reason, task completion and wanting to do my dishes, go for a run, fold my clothes before getting into bed.
BUT it caused major irritability and squelched any kind of effervescence or personability.Now that I've stopped Celexa (it was creating a lot of mood instability) I am finding I am very easily overwhelmed when studying, taking tests, etc., to the point of having a tantrum. After coming undone and failing a test I thought why not try buspar again?
I'm on day six of buspar. I can wake up easier, studying without getting overwhelmed, exercise without putting a gun to my head.
I was going to write that without the SSRI on board the irritability hasn't started (It usually hits me on day two or three)...BUT
It's creeping back in. I feel like a sourpuss, which is fine if I don't have to be around anybody and just get things done. There's an undercurrent of irritability just under the surface walking around.
Anybody know of a remedy for this? I'm only taking 10 mgs a day, split into 5mgs. I might just take some at night so that I can wake up without jaw pain, and then save daytime doses for when I need to study or take a test.
I am at a low dose because I am pretty med sensitive. I know it is used to prevent agitation but can also cause agitation, so I'm wondering if an increase would help things out?
Anyone have luck mixing buspar with ritalin?
