Feedback needed Zoloft/Ativan/buspar

[clopez1514]

I am considering Zoloft. I am currently taking Gabapentin once a day because of my low blood pressure. And lately I’ve been take Ativan as need (the last two days). I read Zoloft works the same way without the addiction as the benzo.

I just started the buspar today but read it’s not as affective and takes longer to work...

I was on that combo of drugs for 17 years. The Ativan I used for sleep.

I have depression anxiety and ptsd

My meds have since been changed due to worsening issues. However I consider 17 years quite successful. I had no issues with the meds.

Of course I did become dependent on the benzo after that length of time.

My only piece of advice is be very careful with taking that ativan, long term use is not recommended.

Good luck
