One of the reasons I don't understand how they think medicine is a cure for this disease. Like if u take it you're emotionally blunted and sexual lt dysfunctional. If u don't take it it's so difficult to manage the obsessions.

Is Buspar effective against anxiety? Would you compare it to anti depressants?

@Auerbach93 Buspar is specifically made for general anxiety, its the first and only long term medication for anxiety without harsh side effects like benzos. I'm really happy im on it. I don't struggle with depression as much as I do mood swings and severe anxiety, which is why Lamictal is more for bipolar/ocd(prevents triggered) where Buspar calms down the reaction to the triggers and keeps you from extensive ruminating. I have xanax in case for panic attacks but Buspar has become my staple for anxiety.

@whatadooo I was diagnosed with panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, and ptsd. I'm considered everyone's anxious friend and I've been on Buspar about 2 years now now and will swear up and down that it works. I noticed in the first 2 weeks but it def gets even better as time goes forward and as you increase your dose. I was on xanax everyday in highsxhool but the withdrawal when I couldn't get a refill was terrible. You can even take an extra dose of Buspar if theres a really triggering day before turning to xanax and it won't hurt you.

@whatadooo That sounds really promising as I am intent on finding a solution to sexual dysfunction caused by the anti depressants. Cuz though they sort of stabilize my mood they kill my sex drive. Hopefully Buspar would work...

@whatadooo Might be good to pair your Buspar with your current medication!

Meds dont even work for me so i cant say much except that you're probably going to experience a low sex drive anyway if you have ocd because youre so stressed. The meds might actually help that in the long run. AND its your choice to stay on them long term.

I'm using xanax time to time but now on the process to cut it. Because as you say it it's impossible not get addicted to it. It's dangerous I feel.
