Tired of it.

[AnnaElise27]

I'm 19.
I've had anxiety problems since I can remeraber.
I've also dealt with bulemia and major depression.
I have been on Buspar now for 4 months,
and I have never felt more irrelavent.
When I was 16, I was on lexapro.
One day I was out and needed a refill,
so I took a zoloft 100mg instead,
thinking they were all the same.
I had seizures and convulsions for a week.
Then I was fine.
I stopped taking it, and went on.
Since then I have had horrible anxiety,
making me feel like i suffer from split-personality or something.
I constantly am in a state of fear and waiting for doom.
I have panic-attacks every day of my life.
I'm very indecisive and lost.
I feel like the world isn't real,
and I'm not human.
My mind is completly delluded.
I can't come back into terms with reality.
I feel like I fool myself everyday.
I was put on Buspar 4 months ago,
and since then I have lost touch with time.
It seems to me like it makes it disappear.
I still have the same symptoms,
And they have done nothing but worsen,
and shown me more each day how I am suffering.
What I like about buspar is how it has eliminated the stress of my body,
the bad thing is that it's only caused more to my brain.


I really just need opinions.
I was wondering, if the corabination of those two anti-depressants could have had lasting effects on my mind,
or if I do suffer from bad anxiety and depression,
or if being on buSpar has made anyone else feel completly insane?

Help please.

Hello there,

So sorry to hear of the tough time you've been having,it must be awful and i feel for you.
Ok i cant advise you on medication as i have never taken them for my problems though have been offered countless times.I get paranoid in taking them and thus try and get by as best as i can without.
Have been suffering myself with anxiety and panic since the age of 19,its now 15 years later! I will say this..do not let the panic and anxiety take over your life.Live your life,please dont let it hold you back and stop you from achieving your dreams and aspirations.You are in control of you,always remeraber that its so important.
Have you ever tried to consciously give yourself a panic or anxiety attack?
You should try it,see if you can make it happen while being aware if that makes sense,i mean we do it to ourselves.We cause the anxiety and panic.Try and erabrace the attack,bring it on,i know its scary believe me but i think it would be good learning for you.A panic or anxiety attack cannot hurt you in any way possible.I do believe that if we all really see that these attacks cannot hurt us then there is nothing to fear.Think how many attacks you have had......right well you are still hear,nothing bad has happened,you know the impending doom that we all think.

Good luck,i wish you well and all the best.I will say again,dont let this ruin your life.You have the right to happiness.You can get better and you will.Takecare.

I take buspar as well as lexapro and I don't experience the horrible effects you are describing. However, every person reacts differently to each medication. Do you have a good doctor you can talk to?
