Greg,
I'm glad you've had positive effects from Buspar, although I must admit that surprised me a great deal. I agree with you that 100 different people can have 100 different reactions to the same med, and hopefully Polly will discuss her options available at length with her doctor. I also recommend checking any new med out on the internet and reading as much as possible about it before taking it, and make sure you don't only check out the web sites sponsored by the pharmaceutical companies because of course they will be biased. As for Fred who said that Benzos are only good for panic attacks but not chronic debilitating anxiety, I beg to differ. I have the chronic debilitating kind and the Benzos are the only meds that have been effective for me since I took my first Klonopin 7 yrs ago. I've stopped taking them at various times, mostly due to moving to new areas & states where doctors are paranoid about prescribing them, and have suffered anxiety so acute and terrorizing that I could not drive a car for months. That constant impending "sense of doom" is kept away by taking the same dosage of Klonopin each day.
