You are so kind and selfless for opening yourself up to help us. I appreciate you even though this sort of frightens me with the memory thing but you explained that it was due to your Adderall so that helps
I like this video. Buspar is helping me a lot too and i sort of don’t know how to act to feeling “normal” almost like I feel like I need anxiety to feel normal and now that it’s going away it’s almost like im looking for something to be anxious about. It’s hard to explain.
@@Pepi86753 No. I'm suffering from shortness of breath and an abnormal high pulse rate upon slight exertion, most likely caused by long cov!d or post cov!d damage. Since most doctors don't even want to recognize that long cov!d even exist and the fact that they can't seem to explain the direct cause of my symptoms based on tests, they're blaming it on "it's just anxiety". That's usually the default position in the medical field when they can't explain something or are unable to find the root cause. They simply blame it on anxiety causing symptoms as they are taught in medical schools. Yes, I'm sad and depressed to some extent since I've been suffering from my debilitating symptoms for almost two years now, but I'm in control of my emotions. It's actually quite normal to be sad or depressed when you are at the peak of your health and enjoying life and all of a sudden you start experiencing shortness of breath and an abnormal heart rate that disables you. My sadness or feelings of depression came as a result of my symptoms . Otherwise, I have zero history of any anxiety/depression. I also have zero history of any emotional trauma. Just a normal 27-year-old. All that has changed since April 2021, when my symptoms first began.
Thank you for sharing your buspirone experience. My son is going off Prozac and going to be starting buspirone. I hope he has as much success as you have from it.
Thank you for the videos on this. I just messaged my doctor about getting on Buspirone. My anxiety sounds really close to what you have been describing so hopefully it will help me.
I am so happy for you 🙏🏽❤️ I am currently on week 4 and there have been ups and downs I actually lowered my dose to 5mg twice a day and feel much better I still feel my brain has to still be adjusted.
there's v little anecdotal videos about buspirone for anxiety. thank you for doing this! It'd be great to get a 6 month update too! About to start on buspirone this week myself.
Great share . Adressing ADD and GAD both is not easy but I look forward to try it and experiencing normal. Aderall was just a maderall for me it makes me insane
Hi! Thanks so much for the videos. It's really helping me to overcome my fear. Just prescribed yesterday buspirone and zoloft for anxiety and depression. Starting today fingers crossed! ❤ thanks again
Thank you for all these nice videos. And congratulations... I am on Escitalopram for a year which is helpful for anxiety but I lost my motivation. I also got ADD but I stopped medications because of the side effects... I will definitely give Buspirone a try
I started 5mg buspirone yesterday. It made me sleepy so I slept good yesterday evening and last night. I took it again this morning and it did the same thing. Maybe that side effect will go away the more my body gets use to it. Today I noticed I've not been so tense. Hope this works 🙏
Subscribed. Awesome video. I am an identical twin with severe adhd and "non-severe" anxiety. Am recently stsrting Buspirone and Vyvanse. Adderall XR seemed to be "not right" for me. Vyvanse seems good so far. TY for the video!
As beautiful as you are, please make a lot of friends, spend as much time as possible with close friends, exercise, visit village areas and interact with kids and people, and live a simple and happy life, and you don't deserve any kind of woeful medications. Go and shine my girl! 🥰💛
@vids by j hi, thank you for sharing your experience. I have terrible social anxiety so I am considering going on busbirone. I also have adhd, you mentioned that your going to try going on methenphenadate again. Does it seem to be better than taking buspirone with aderall?
I actually just started ritalin this week, I need more data to make any conclusions. But so far, it hasn’t been working that well either. I may need to try different doses. I have noticed the smaller dose I take of adhd meds, the better they work for me. For example, I used to take 15mg adderall IR 2x/day before buspirone, and I ended up going down to 5mg/3x a day on buspirone because it worked better and I felt overstimulated on the higher dose. I am really struggling trying to find the correct concoction on the adhd side of things, but my anxiety and depression is still pretty good with just buspirone 15mg/Day so I don’t want to change the buspirone.
Buspirone did effect my sleep negatively during the first month of taking it, but now 4 months in I actually feel like I’m getting the best sleep in my life. I sleep less time than I used to, but the quality is so much better and I feel well rested every day. So yes, sleep is effected, but in a positive way for me!
It's so good to hear someone's perspective. I'm on 10mg buspar and did you experience increased hunger and jitteryness? I've also been having some brain fog maybe increasing my dose will help x
The first week sedative it slowed me down too much but after the first week, I was fine. I always worry about things even though honestly comparatively to probably 90% of people I know I have very little to worry about. I’m thankful for that, but I mean, maybe It seems to help me pretty well
ill be honest, you are very beautiful. keep your head up try not to over think things. and try to stay away from the adderall pls. I recently just started buspirone hopefully it helps me with my anxiety too.
I just started 10mg 2x a day and also stopped taking 75 wellbutrin and 10mg adderrall and having positive anti anxiety effects but my brain feels tight and foggy like I can not make a complete thought. I detoxed from wellbutrin and adderral before trying buspirone and am in week two two and a half ....sometimes it feels like it helds my add and then other times hinders . I hope this goes away. I still am unable to concentrate fully and can not read a book again like i started to with adderal looking for adhd med to work with buspirone or will buspirone start to help soon for adhd ????
I had something similar when I first started, I was super out of it and foggy minded. It took me about 1.5 to 2 full months to finally start feeling the full benefits of buspirone. I do still have to take adhd meds for my adhd, I now take concerta and it works really nicely with the buspirone (still at 15mg/day). I hope everything gets better for you, good luck!
I take 18mg of concerta. For me it feels very different from adderall. I was on adderall for years before starting buspirone, but when I started buspirone the adderall started giving me weird side effects like anxiety and it actually didn’t help my adhd as much anymore. But the concerta works really well with my buspirone and I don’t notice any side effects at all with all of the benefits of managing my adhd.
Well thank you for your experience I love this medication has worked great for me it stopped everything drinking smoking marijuana I don't smoke cigarettes it stopped the racing thoughts the depression and it helped the bipolar one I feel much better I'm just very tired do to overworking myself I still have a lot of pain in my body but I can get some type of pain medication from a regular doctor and I am going to get on multivitamins and if I give myself enough time I think I'll be fine but thank you for your experience
I'm going on week 2 with Buspar so far so good a little spacey but I hope I have your results I just want to feel normal or at least live normal I've had panic disorder for a long time
Hello! I'm considering medication for my struggles with depression and anxiety. The thing is that i'd rather take Buspirone alone than antidepressants. From your experience - did it also help your depression?
I take buspirone alone and it has helped with my depression significantly along side with my anxiety! I didn’t notice a difference in my depression at 10mg, but at 15mg/day i really am noticing an improvement
I just got prescribed this today 5mg 2 times a day, for my anxiety and overthinking I been watching ur videos , but I also found some where people are saying they have manic episodes where they become angry and lash out at people or have this high feeling , I’m scared to take this because I also took lexapro for 3 days and I couldn’t even take that cuz it made my anxiety go to the roof . I’m just scared it’s gonna mentally mess me up or something
Hi, congratulations on the progress, it’s really great, I’ve seen all the videos and it really helps me with my treatment. I had a question, and that was what is the dose spacing when you take 3 doses a day. What are your hours. Hopefully everything will continue on track:)
I have concerta for adhd and just started buspirone for anxiety due to ptsd. This is my first day so don't know how my body will react. My doctor asked if i would need benzos for anxiety and i asked if there is something milder and mentioned this drug so she just prescribed it.
This is has really been the weardest medication that i have been. I have been now about 1,5 week using it. It's like i can feel how i am feeling better, but then again i can feel that feel when the medication is wearing off. I don't know is it good to say at this point. Right now i still feel anxiety when i go outside and do my daily things, but i don't feel anxiety so much that i could not go to grocery shops and so on. The only side effects that i have felt had been headaches, one day i felt like sick and my libido has increased.
Can Buspirone causes sexual dysfunction? I was on Escitalopram (which kills sex drive at all) and quit it like 3 weeks ago, but I'm still having issues. I don't know if it is Escitalopram side effects or Buspirone 😭😭😭😭😭
Buspirone is not supposed to cause sexual dysfunction, but everyone is different! I personally don’t have a difference in sex drive at all. I was on escitalopram previously too, and it did cause me to have a lower sex drive, even when coming off of it. So maybe your body is still adjusting! I hope this helps!
@@gunnar1846 I was on an SSRI, but now I am only taking Buspirone, the thing is my sex drive is still affected. It looks like the problem is the SSRI that I was taking and I don't know how long I will be waiting for get better 😟😟😟
Thanks for sharing your experience as it gives me hope. I’m on week 4 and just upped my dosage from 10mg to 20mg a day. I don’t really feel like anything has changed, hence why my doctor upped my dosage. How long did it take for you to feel confident that it was truly working?
I noticed a difference around week 4 on 10mg but I noticed a large difference about 2 weeks after I upped my dose to 15mg a day, about 3 months after starting buspirone. I hope this helps!
@@vidsbyj123 i just started taking buspirone 3 days ago and i noticed a very strong reaction withing one hour as i would get brain zaps and a high feeling . that is starting to go away as time goes on. did you experience that when you first stated using this? when you say it took 3 months to feel normal are you saying that you feel normal consistently even when not medicating because that is what i am hoping for. i suffer from heavy anxiety and i cant wait for it to go away.
Yeah Adderall is literally pharmaceutical meth. That shit will really wear your heart out if you take it for years and years. Good call for quitting it. I probably have ADHD but I don't really care. I remember in college I took it once and I literally was like a meth head all hyped up and extremely focused on my college work. I took it the night before my Genetics exam and literally read the entire 3 chapters in a couple hours. The next morning I took the test was one of the 1st ones finished in the class. Normally I'm the last finished. I made a 100 on the test and a week before that I made a 63. I was shocked and could see why most med students take it, but my palms were sweating and I wasn't sleeping. I got off of it quickly. I don't know how people take that for years no way could I do that. My heart was pounding out of my chest too
I’m on day 11 and although the debilitating anxiety has eased up alot I’m still having side effects like dizziness, head feels heavy or likes it’s going to explode and my thought process is slower. Hope this passes.
Benzo withdrawals are the effing worst. I've been cut off twice now from xanax and later klonopin. I had several seizures from xanax withdrawal. It's awesome when you can get it, but when you don't have it anymore you are gunna be in a world of pain. Trust me.
