BUSPIRONE - WEEK 2

[Brimay]

Hi All, I really need some advice here. I have panic disorder, GAD, health anxiety and Agoraphobia. I am on a heap of medications which should already be controlling it but they are not. I have been on Amitriptyline, Propranolol and Alprazolam (Xanax - a benzo) for years now. They worked well and then about 2 years ago I developed the health anxiety and agoraphobia. They tried pregabalin and wanted to put me on Duloxitene. I have a bad liver so I did not tolerate the pregabalin and refused the duloxitine as that is very bad for the liver. So I have just been put onto BUSPIRONE and just wanted to know all your experiences. Since being on it - first day - knocked out totally on the 1st 5mg. Since back pain and heart flutters but defibately feel it starting to work. Tuesday entered week 2 and went from 5 mg x 3 daily to 10 mg x 3 daily, not much difference but still major backache, heart flutters and stomach bloating. I can feel this could work but just wanted to see what your experiences have been and if good or bad and your side effects and if negative effects subside? Thanks in advance as this is quite long winded. TIA all
