So im on zoloft for anxiety and my psych added Buspar to help with lack of motivation, sexual side effects and weight gain. I'm also in therapy and have implemented yoga, meditation, cardio and other coping skills. Well my Busbar ran out so since I'm very anti medication, and I felt I was in a good place anxiety wise, I tapered off the Buspar.
Well, anxiety has come back full force and I refilled my Buspar. I'm just so frustrated thinking I had a handle on my anxiety just to find out I don't. I feel like I'm never going to be able to be off meds. I have an appt with my pysch next week as well as with my therapist so talking with them will help. My mom was bipolar and basically died from kidney failure due to Lithium so I'm very afraid of meds. I also had deep vein thrombosis from taking birth control pills so both of these things have caused me to be very afraid of meds. I've tried the natural route with supplements for my anxiety with no success unfortunately.
Until then, can anyone else relate? And thanks for letting me vent.
