Hi Phillipa,
I take Buspar 15 x 2 and .25 x 1 Xanax at bedtime. Just started on 20 x 2 of Ritalin (today).
No anxiety in a few days, but it had dissipated when I was on no drugs at all. Ritalin helped me today, but not sure about it yet. I was quite happy with this script; the last PDoc wanted to give me Lamictal. The Buspar was my suggestion; however, during beginning of PDoc appt. I said I needed to be screened for ADHD/ADD and he agreed. I am surprised though, I wasn't considered a drug seeker for being the one to bring it up...more lucky than anything I guess.
PDoc thought most of my symptoms were from severe anxiety, and the rest from ADD/ADHD. BUT-now I remember how well Xanax helps me sleep. I woke up feeling so refreshed unlike that hungover feeling I've had for over a year now. I really think the xxRIs screw up my sleep/autonomous nervous system--and that sleep deficiency manifests in so many areas. Xanax took me back to the sleep I used to have--like Mariott-hotel-bed-sleep..lol..You take Xanax too, right?
I honestly did not have time to experiment, with everything going on in my life. I made the decision and stuck with it.
