In reply to Panic attack - Trileptal + Buspar?, posted by sheilac on August 9, 2013, at 13:28:40
> 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 usually takes a couple of weeks for Buspar to start working on anxiety, it's not a prn medication like clonazepam. Although it's possible to feel a boost in energy from it initially, happened to me 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?It's worth a try, although Trileptal leaves the body quickly, just like Buspar.
> Odd combo maybe. But when I took Trileptal I didn't have to take much Klonopin at all.
Trileptal can be used to easen clonazepam, and benzos in general, withdrawals. So it's not so strange.
> I dread going to bed and waking up with panic.
How about taking clonazepam at bedtime?
