[melaniel61]

IM ON 100 DAYS AND I STILL HAVE ANXIETY SO BAD. IM TAKING BUSBAR BUT IT DOES'NT SEEM TO BE HELPING. I CAN'T HANDLE THE ANXIETY. I JUST WANT TO FEEK BETTER. I GO TO AA MEETINGS AND GETTING READY TO START A PILLS ANONOMOUS MEETING. I NEED TO HEAR THAT OTHER PILL ADDICTS ARE GOING THRU WHAT IM GOING THRU. ANY SUGGESTIONS

Hi hon, I"m sorry you're feeling yucky.  But if your addiction was pain meds and you still are feeling  w/ds after over three month, I think it's time to look into the Buspar.  From what I know about Buspar, that is given for an anti-depressant or supposedly anti anixtey, but it can cause anxiety as well.  Esp if you are more a high anxiety person and not as much of a depressed person.  Maybe you need something else...try prozac.  But to me Buspar is more like Welbutrin it's speeds you up b/c it's more for depressant and always down people, not high anxiety.  I"m hope you know what I'm saying....

hey girlee ...well im 81 days into it and im having the same anxiety problems
there not as bad as when I was tapering off or in the beginning but it is still by far
the worst withdrawal symptom I have experienced...my drug consular said it could take some time b/4 it gets better but it will with time ..if you believe in god try praying
I find thats about all that helps....at least it seams to be getting better with time
loook back on your last 100 days and see if you notice any improvements
we dident get addicted over night it will probably take some time to get well
good luck and god bless..Gnarly
