In reply to Buspar 150mgs anyone? (social and general anxiety), posted by jonh kimble on January 7, 2004, at 23:15:24
> Just been prescribed buspar, and my understanding is that it is a 5ht1a agonist, correct? Its for the above and ive never heard it used for social anxiety so im wondering... but i tried seroquel and it made me absolutely a mess. Panic attacks like you wouldnt believe, and social anxiety made worse. How does it relate to buspar? Also, i was prescibed 150 mgs?! Isnt that an massive dose? I read that 60 mgs is the max recomended dose. Maybe my doc doesnt have a clue what hes talking about, or maybe i dont have a clue what im talking about. Anyway, Anyone have any suggestions/comments? Please anything would be great. Thanx
I have never heard of anyone being prescribed a dosage that high. That dose will probably make you real dizzy and you will pass out if you stand up too quickly :-). And by the way, Buspar is useless for social anxiety. My advice: find another pdoc.
