BUSPIRONE vs LORAZEPAM

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

Catatonia isn’t just “not moving” — it’s a life-threatening neuropsychiatric syndrome that can look wildly different depending on the person. Some people freeze up. Others become agitated. Some collapse into seizures. I’ve lived through both extremes — and I’m sharing this to raise awareness for any

Every person I know who has bp and people I see online all have similar experiences with going cold turkey and being on and off their meds. I don't know why I personally struggle, I take my meds for months and then one day just stop, and yeah, it makes me feel like shit. Even right now I am in a low

I know you guys are working really hard, and it's been a shitty month for all of us, but it feels like you forgot about all of your effects except for the side ones. Like the ones where you maybe stop me from writing a novel for 35 hours straight and getting fired, or maybe throw me a rope when I si

My husband recently went to the psych ward and was diagnosed with unidentified psychotic disorder and catatonia. He was in the hospital a total of 46 days. He thinks the hospital was divine intervention and he taught the psychiatrist all the ideas on how to contain him and now they practice his idea

My psychiatrist just prescribed me Lamotrigine, He started me at a low dose 25mg before bed. I've never taken this medicine before and I don't know what to expect. How long will it take for me to feel better after taking it? What are the side effects? Currently I'm taking Lithium 200mg ×2 Lorazepa

Since when lorazepam kills delusions? I don't know what to google or what this means. If it's not dopamine, then it's not psychiatric? Could be neurological? I sure as hell have been having neurological symptoms, like my head (painlessly, so not dystonia) twisting to the right, memory loss, weird sm

Hello, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2017, when I was 21 years old. I went through an active psychotic episode that lasted for about two years, which eventually led to an inpatient stay in a closed psychiatric ward. That happened after a suicide attempt — I had taken my father’s gun and inte
