I was put on Buspar about 3 weeks ago (along w/my Welb. XL). I'm sensitive to meds, so we started really slow. I was doing 5mg for 9 days and then did 7.5mg for 8 days and after mentioning my tiredness I was told to go back to 5mg while we wait for some labs. I'm only taking them at night right now. Ever since I started taking the Buspar I have been getting an average of 2 hours more of sleep a night and always feel like taking a nap. The longest I've slept so far on the Buspar has been 16 hours. I was pretty darn out of it.
Is this normal? I know Buspar is supposed to be very mild. Unfortunately, I can't even tell if it's helping my anxiety because all I've been able to do is sleep. I've been too tired to be anxious! hahaha!
If Buspar doesn't work, I don't know what the pdoc is going to do next. What in the world could be the next thing we try? Any ideas?
