Anxiety
"I&#039;ve been titrating up on Buspar after going off of Xanax last year and then starting up with 5mg fluoxetine and 10mg doxepin. So far, this is working far more gently than the xanax. I don&#039;t have a zap of relief following by impending panic attacks within hours. I am much more level. I am having side effects of nausea, dizziness, and light-headedness for a few days after each increase in dosage. I&#039;m up to 20mg 3x a day and I&#039;m supposed to sit tight here so I&#039;m hoping to be done with the side effects soon and get into a stable state. I had a ton of problems with withdrawal from the benzos so I don&#039;t want to go back to them; buspirone has been a great alternative so far. My anxiety is so bad that I&#039;d rather be dizzy and nauseated than anxious"
