RoseTattoo,
Thanks for your concern.

How long have you been taking the buspar?

Since 1997 -- long enough to know that it is of limited value.

Is there some particular reason you're taking the separate meds, instead of an SSRI like Paxil that treats both depression and anxiety?
|
Dunno. I've always relied on the shrink to prescribe the appropriate meds for my symptoms. I see him today, so I'll bring this up.

And are you being medicated for ADD as well?

In the past, I've taken Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta. The Ritalin ('94) worked for a little while, but I left my job and lost my insurance. The Adderall (2002) worked for a little while, then stopped working, regardless of how high I increased the dose. The Concerta (2003) (18, then 27 mg.) has never affected me, except to raise my pulse. I've been off the Concerta for about 10 days. |
