If you aren't a member of a gym go join one and get active. Exercise can work wonders for a&d.

i feel the same way. I just started taking buspar a little over a week ago. It's not working fast enough. I know it takes time. But my dr started me on 5mg two times a day and when I asked him to up it, he said I could wait to talk to him about it when i see him again nov 21...i think i'm gonna go crazy before then...ugh.

I'm sorry you feel the way you do. How much buspar do you take?

I think the whole thing is try not to concentrate on your symptoms. I know it’s hard believe me I’m like preaching to the choir here lol. But I notice if I go out with friends and I do stuff I’m not so bad. I just have this weird feeling inside like I’m kinda dead or non existent. I know it’ll go away and I keep trying to remind myself of that.

I have been taking Buspar for a week now and I feel better already. The full effects haven't even kicked in yet and its already helping. Hang in there, the medicine really works. It could take up to a month but it starts to take the edge off after a week. I have severe panic disorder and I was going bat shit crazy for 2 months before I got help. I'm about to start (CBT) therapy next week. I've heard nothing but good comments about cognitive behavioral therapy

(CBT) you should look into it.

I’ve done therapy before and then my work and school got in the way. So I had to stop. But I’m learning that it makes more sense to concentrate on myself and my needs before others now.

I’m gonna get back into therapy too. Does anyone else ever feel depressed when their anxiety’s up?

Hey just so you know. Feeling like you are going insane is one of the most common symptoms of anxiety and panic. I've been struggling with this for 3 years. You are NOT going insane. I promise. It is anxiety. I will pray for you.
