BUSPIRONE vs CLONAZEPAM

My mental health lately has been the worst I think it’s EVER been, and I’ve been thinking about killing myself for a while now. I haven’t seriously tried to attempt yet, but it’s an urge that’s almost constantly on my mind. Last night was a really, really bad night for me, and I ended up awake and

I have my ketamine treatment appointment tomorrow morning. It is just the first appointment where they review me and I guess see if I'm a candidate for the treatment. It is being conducted via telehealth. I'm pretty scared that I'll be accepted and find out it doesnt work. Ive tried ssri, atypic

Has anyone else done this?? I’m taking bupropion, buspirone and escitalopram. I’ve been taking them for so long and it feels like they don’t even help. I’m still absolutely miserable. I can’t hold down a job and I can’t even get accepted for disability benefits. Seriously. What is even the point if

I'm finally starting to feel the effects of my anti anxiety/depressant meds, but as much as I like not being anxious, catastrophizing, or stressed, I also feel like I'm not as sharp as I used to be. It's hard to get motivated to do anything. I'm at a point in my life where I need to be maximizing my

i can’t keep a job. i can’t keep a clean house. i barely am able to feed my cats. i barely brush my teeth or hair. i just want to be high or drunk. i just want to smoke. i just want to do all these self destructive activities. i go back to therapy tomorrow. i started taking my buspirone again..but i

I was on 225 mg of Venlafaxine/Effexor. My Depression only felt a little better but the medicine also caused me to be angrier and have extreme mood swings. Psychiatrist also put me on Ziprasidone to help with the mood swings and apparently to boost the effect of the Effexor. I started going to a new

Not looking for hate or criticism but I feel ashamed because I’m on 3 different meds. Zoloft and Wellbutrin to counteract side effects from the Zoloft. And buspirone for anxiety and racing thoughts. I feel like I’m messed up but without these meds, I may not be here today. I’m so grateful for them b

Hi everyone, Hope you’re doing okay, or better. This week it’s been 4 years since my first manic episode. Since then, I haven’t relapsed. I’ll try to keep this short, but it will probably be a bit longer since I want to write everything that I would have wanted to read 4 years ago. **Here we go:** M

I’m a 33 year old female and have been diagnosed for 5 years now. I spent countless days, even years, trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I would be on google nearly every day asking questions and just thought I had bad anxiety along with my PTSD and ADHD. My head has been off since I was a

“I’m bipolar.” “I’m bipolar type 1” “I have bipolar disorder.” “I have bipolar disorder type 1.” “I have bipolar illness.” All those statements were attempts to describe myself after my diagnosis, Bipolar illness, at the ripe age of 25. The following years were defined by this list (this is not an

I just wanted somewhere to celebrate how good I'm FINALLY doing. I've been in and out of the hospital for three years now for reckless behaviour and all of the mania, and I knew that you guys would appreciate this. After 6 months of not being employed because my doctor said I just couldn't work, I'v

I hope you can understand me, since English is not my first language. So a few days ago I restarted my medication after like years of The Misery™, you know folks, being in a shitty state all day, drinking heavily and doing clonazepam to get away from the pain, losing all interest in things I used to

For context, I’m bipolar one, and had a gnarly manic and psychotic episode when I was 19 which got me hospitalized for two weeks. That’s when I got my diagnosis, and I’m now 23. I’ve now been through boatloads of therapy, have a very comfy and stable home situation, a therapist and psychiatrist I tr

I have tried Quetiapine, Olanzapine, Fluoxetine… I’m fucking done with the side effects, I gained so much weight was hungry all the time and no desire on anything like numb/zombie all the time. I’m now on 350 Venlafaxine and just quit Olanzapine and was prescribed Clonazepam 2mg and Ambien 10mg, whi
