Anyone tried Buspirone for anxiety?
« on: March 20, 2008, 04:31:13 PM »
Hi Guys,

I found this link about G.A.D. and was interested to read about Buspirone being a possible drug treatment. 
http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/27000122/

I took a print out along to my doctors today and she agreed it might be useful to try, so has referred me to a psychiatry unit to investigate using it. It can not be proscribed by GPs directly.

I'm a big CBT fan, but I think I'd benefit from a trying some anti anxiety drugs.  I'm quite used to weird side effects, so it'll be interesting to see what this does.   

Has anyone here got experience of Buspirone?

Nick.

   Hi Fragm, 
                  I do not suffer with GAD but as this drug probably increases Seratonin, much like the drugs I take now, perhaps it'll be used for other anxiety conditions too. I'm always very happy for someone else to be the Guinea, good luck !! 
             Nice to meet you on Wednesday,
