> I feel something from the buspar within a few days.
Has Buspar improved depression, anxiety, or both? How long did it take to improve anxiety the first time you took it?
> Scott, don't you take Prozosin which is an alpha antagonist?
Yes, prazosin is a norepinephrine NE alpha-1a/b/d antagonist. I haven't ascertained what type of depression it is best suited to treated, though. My depression is bipolar with drug-induced mania. My history is one of chronic multiple traumas
> I'm contemplating trying trazodone during the day as I can't sleep on it, but I feel great emotionally the next day. Perhaps it would be different with time.
Wow. That is indeed interesting. I hope it works out for you. Let me know what happens.
> sorry for hijacking the thread
Don't be silly. No apologies necessary.
> I'm holding off on the Rexulti and Sapphris for now I think. Abilify made me feel more disconnected than seroquel I think, but we're talking 2.5 mgs. Even Latuda gave a disconnected feeling, althought emotionally more open. Not sure it's possible to avoid disconnection on AAP which is why Buspar seemed for attractive. I became very destabilized and depressed even stopping Buspar from 5mg, and increasingly agitated on it, so Docs think its either a bipolar response to the serotonin or a rare rage response that trauma people can have, ie. the anxiety that was protecting you is stripped away and you are left with rage at your experiences.
Just curious - does Remeron make you feel the same agitation and rage that Buspar does?
I wonder if Viibryd would work better than Buspar for you, but without provoking rage. Like Buspar, Viibryd is a 5-HT1a partial agonist. However, it is a potent serotonin reuptake inhibitor as well.
