It's possible I'm having some discontinuation from Geodon. I didn't really notice any problems when I stopped Geodon. But when I stopped Trileptal I noticed a huge increase in anxiety.
The Buspar seems to give me a lift, which is great for my depression. I felt speedy and anxious this morning like I was going to have a full blown panic attack. I took 2mg of Klonopin to get me through the morning.
I can't live on Klonopin. I guess that is why I was wondering if Buspar was eventually going to HELP my anxiety instead of increasing it.
It's kinda like when you take an antidepressant and you feel good and a little hyper or anxious.
I don't think I can take it at night. It interfered with sleep. Maybe I'll take it in the afternoon (since it wears off so fast anyway).
I just wonder if a low dose of nightime Trileptal would halt the morning anxiety and let the Buspar help the depression.
Maybe Trileptal lasts longer in the body?
Odd combo maybe. But when I took Trileptal I didn't have to take much Klonopin at all.
I dread going to bed and waking up with panic.
