Ativan worked great except I had to constantly take it, it made me feel way too loaded and I was unable to retain information that I am studying. I have gone back to school after 31 years and with ativan, I couldn't retain information that I had studied over and over.
So far, the buspar is like a miracle drug. I hope this isn't just a honeymoon and that I contiue to feel this way. God knows what "normal" really is, but this is the closest I've come to feeling that way in years. I don't feel "relaxed" in an intoxicated way, just not like I am so agitated thta I want to do anything to make that feeling lessen. He gave me the Restoril to help me sleep, but I'm finding if I'm tired enough from the day, it's not necessarily necessary. It's nice to know it's sitting in my bedroom if I really need it. Nice to feel like I have a choice. I have been a surrepticious weed smoker since I was prolly 18 years old; I turned 52 last October. Not so easy to do living in the mid-west and folks just think you are a soccer mom. I see my mom dealing with anxiety and now my 19 year old daughter who is struggling so hard to get through University right now. My intentions are to get her tested too as maybe I can save her 30 years of heartache. It just amazes me that people think that anxiety is just no big deal. Even my best friend of 40 years told me "you should just stop thinking so much; get out of your head". Yeah, right. Like I could click my heels and make it go away? I wish.
Thank you for your greeting. Nice to meet a nice person! Are you dealing with this too?
