Hi Michael! I'm absolutely THRILLED to see you here again..and going to the State Fair AND goin' on the rides...woohooo! that's SOOOOO awesome.
I appreciate MamaB's concerns for you...but I think you are doing a great job of managing your illnesses :) Research and lotsa self-experiments, understanding your own body..that seems to be the key, I guess. I, for one, love to read your informative posts. They are always thought provoking and prompt further research for me, anyway. Your intelligence and creativity always comes through. I can hardly believe you are so YOUNG! Compared to me, Mike, you are just a baby!
Ha! You've got tons of life in front of you. I'm so happy to feel the optimistic tone of your new posts.
A question now and, yes, I am asking for an opinion, LOL. I've been on 30mg Buspirone for 10 days (up from 20mg previous 4 weeks). I think it's taken the edge off my anxiety at this higher dose, but I'm feeling very "blah" and somewhat slowed by it. Yesterday I had an anxiety attack start, so I took .5mg of my trusty Klonopin. Not only did my anxiety disappear, but my mood and energy lightened right up! I thought that this effect had happened before, when I was on Klonopin alone for a while. In fact at 1mg, it had a slight disinhibiting effect, I think,which felt great! I didn't pay much attention to this mood brightening at the time, but it was really noticeable yesterday, when I was feeling so sluggish and flat (prolly from the buspirone).
What do you think?? How can a GABA agonist do this?
Jas
Always your supporter :)
