In reply to try Xanax in stead of Buspar » EmilyAnn, posted by Iago Camboa on July 4, 2002, at 3:51:08
> Hi. Why not try the obvious? Sure maintain the Effexor XR but substitute Buspar by Xanax. I bet your anxiety will vanish and hopefully your 'mania' too... Get prescribed Xanax .5mg by your pdoc and swallow a pill; repeat 6 hours later and then again after 6h. Please tell us how you feel.Totally no offense dude.. but I think the doc might be concerned about someone who has a problem with alcohol ... I'm not making the comment that he should be concerned, just that he probably is....
though in truth I don't know anything about Xanax myself... but isn't it like the most addicting benzo (due to euphoric effects?) ...
probably safer to use something like clonazepam, if a benzo is to be used ...
i really don't know the potential for abuse in this situation.. and even worse i have no clue whether or not benzos worsen depression or by how much ... Ug :( :(
so it is so hard to say> Please keep the amount of Xanax at the minimum required to have you anxiety-free all day and night and enjoy summer time! Good luck.
but Xanax sounds so good -- how could anyone *not* abuse it? :) i could sure use some euphoria out here, that's for sure
.. hah.. i also hate those short acting benzos... i feel like i'm on an emotional rollercoaster ride...
plus! .. if you wish to make sure you are taking the absolute lowest dose... you have to keep testing yourself to see if the anxiety is there or not... and then take it if it is...
i hate that .. because i constantly end up having bad anxiety pop up in my day 3 or 4 times
maybe this is totally limited to me ...
but i just love the gabapentin, cuz i take the same dose everyday and i don't wait to see if any anxiety comes around, or worry about addiction, or sedation, or increased depression or memory loss .. :) :) .. it's like a guilt free anxiolytic to me-- this message has been brought to you by Warner-Lambert <GRiN>
