You mention that your husband is away on deployment is this because he is in the armed forces.
John
yes he is ! is very hard specially when I DONT have no plan B if something happens to me. thats why im in this forum . this is his last one.
Hi Eliaimee, I have been on both of these meds. Buspar does cause the effects as you described, and they can make you feel uncomfortable, frightened and very tired. I would call the doctor, explain how Buspar is affecting you and ask for the Ativan. If he does not want to prescribe Ativan, ask if you can take Klonopin. I am on Klonopin now and it is great with my anxiety. I hope this helps! If you need to chat further, feel free to contact me. Stay calm, rest and enjoy your holidays as best you can. I pray your husband returns very soon.
what is klonopin
Klonopin is similiar to Ativan. It is prescribed to treat anxiety and panic attacks. It does not leave you with that loopy/foggy headed feeling. It works wonders with me, especially since it does not upset my stomach or cause constipation. I hope this helps you Eliaimee. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. Stay strong my friend.
thanks Andi i like ATIVAN but i need something long term . i have the 7.5 buspar and i has to cut it in half ans so far is ok .
Eliaimee so happy to hear that the Buspar is helping you. I wish you much happiness. Take care my friend.
