I'd go ahead and tell your doc. Always good to keep them informed, and depression/anxiety meds are notoriously subjective. some people do well on a particular one, while others have strange side effects or get worse. it's a process of trial and error really to find one that works well for you. Keeping your doc informed of things helps.

I would email your pdoc. Remember they work for you. You basically pay your salary, right? That is how I look at it whenever I need to talk to my pdoc. I have definitely questioned my own sanity! At first when I get psychotic I can see the difference between reality and the horrible world I will soon get trapped in. So know you are not alone...feel better soon.

Tell your doc what you told us here. And remember it takes time, a few months to know if a med is working or not. I hope things get better for you soon.

Tell her exactly what you told us, the symptoms you're having.

Tell your doc asap. You could be reacting the wrong way to the meds. It's happened with me before. I've been in your shoes with how you're feeling. I'm here if you'd like to talk. Hugs.

I agree with the reponses here. Your doctor needs to know what is going on with you, its they only way that they can help you. Keep your doctor updated, otherwise getting pills is useless without a follow up.

Thank you for your replies. I will email the doctor today. I don't know if it is the pills or I am that bad off. I am so scared of everything and afraid of the future. Things are bad right now in a lot of areas in my life. I think if things would improve it would help. I feel like I am going insane. I hope it gets better and Thanks.

You poor love, talk to your doc and give the meds time to do their job :-)

I have taken Buspar for years and it does help. I take 10mg 3x day. What dose are you on??

You should talk to your Dr. Did you feel as bad as you do now BEFORE you took this new medication? I had taken paxil before and it made me feel so spacy and out of it...I had to quit taking it. Find out what is going on...it isn't you...its the meds

Yes! I had the same experience as you. Buspar was added to my cocktails and it DID NOT work, in some cases I thought it was just proving detrimental! I read about Buspar; it's not a frequently used med, but usually tried in cases where other stuff isn't working. I have some similar symptoms to you I think from just reading what you wrote. I'm on Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, & Abilify. They have kept me stable for MONTHS now. Also, give any med about one month to work please, cause I know multiple meds of mine took more than a few weeks to kick in and when they did finally kick in, I could notice the difference.

Anything that worsens your anxiety is awful. I, too, fear a lot of things in life and it just makes me miserable; it contributes to my depression! On the right meds, I don't have this constant fear and I feel saner, too. Meds are about trial and error; don't stop until you get the right ones. Talk to your doctor immediately, let her know what you've said here on this forum and be open to trying some new things in case they might give you some happiness, which you well deserve.

Good luck

I think I have depression. I feel fear and have anxiety. How would I know I have depression. I need to see a psy doctor.
What is the different between Psycologist and Psychiatrist?
Who should I see? I thought I am just being tired. I find myself later having this fear of everything. Well, my brother has colon cancer and he will be back to hospital this friday for a precedure and hopefully he will be ok. Then my friend still cannot find a nice psy doctor for his depression. Would it be all these happening I develop depression.
What are the symptoms of depression?

I emailed my doctor and she prescribed Ativan and said not to take the Buspar. I was taking 10 mg once a day and I think it was making me worse. The Ativan worked great. I took one last night and I was able to relax for the first time in weeks and breath again. I just relaxed and went with the flow and watched TV but fell asleep. I took one today and can breath again. I don't know how it is working on the fear yet because right now I am not as nervous and am grateful for that.

eemy, I felt like this before the meds. It was the 4th anniversary of my fiance's death on August 27th and I though I will get through this but then everything went wrong at once. There was no letup of problems and I became nervous and the doctor prescribed the Buspar. Then depression hit with the anxiety and she prescribed Prozac. The Buspar was not working so I have the Ativan and hope it helps while the Prozac is settling in.

Thank You ayngel for sharing that you have had fears and now they are stable. That gives me hope. I am trying to get a job when all this hit and it made me so fearful. I hope what I am taking will help. I am open to whatever will help me feel better and less scared of life. Knowing that you feel better gives me hope.

Sickday. Anyone would be depressed with a sick family memeber and I am no expert on depression but maybe you can start by visiting your family doctor and take it from there. Good Luck. I hope you feel better.
