The past 3 years of my life has been misserable at best. In and out of the hospital several times, developed some kind of food allergy, severe depression and anxiety that comes out of nowhere then goes away, pain over my entire body especially my feet, knees and back, at least two severe migraine headaches a month, both feet and hands tingle/sting every day, insomnia and severe seasonal allergies.
In that time I have tried zoloft, lexapor, prozac, amatryptaline, cymbalta and celexa...all gave me very nasty side effects. They all made me feel quite anxious...like I was on a pure caffiene drip, extreme lightheaded and dizzy and they all made me feel "out of it."
This past April I was hospitalized for 6 days and when I got out I felt great. Each passing day I coudl feel myself getting worse. Bloodshot eyes, tired all the time, never hungry and due to these food allergies I was affriad to eat. Now I'm not a small guy....5'11 and 195lbs and work out every morning. I'm also not affriad of much but this "MIND" problem I have has me scared to death. I thought I could fight this on my own but I cant.
I have a friend that is an ER doctor and I asked her about my problems. She said "Classic depression/anxiety issues." My problem is I'm unable to tollerate the other SSRI's which is why I'm scared. She recommended Buspar so here I go. Today started out horrible and I did not want to live when I woke up. Im mean to my wife and kids...not on purpose...just come home from work and never interact with them. I have to force myself to carry on a conversation. The things I used to enjoy and love never enter my mind now. I have no joy...I have no happiness.
Today was my first Buspar pill and I know that it can take about a month for it to kick in. I'm praying this helps. Anyone else have an experience with Buspar? I wold love to hear a success story.
