How does this work as an as needed med?? Also scared to start.
Hi, I have a huge phobia of all meds, even OTC meds and I really don’t want to start SSI’s if I can maybe find something else that might work. I’ve taken Ativan before for panic attacks but my doc and psychiatrist don’t want me on that.
I tried a super low dose of propronol a few weeks ago (started at 5mg, then 2.5, then down to 1.5) but even with adjustments the whole week I was on it I just felt so dizzy, fatigued and depressed. My doctor just told me to stop. It did help my anxiety but it was so hard to function, and I think at one point I felt so faint it started an anxiety attack regardless as my body reacted to try and not pass out.
I’m now supposed to try 2.5mg of Buspar.
I’m really worried about feeling dizzy again or lightheaded, it took me a lot of courage to try the propronol for it to not work out as well as I’d have liked.
I’m also wondering how this can be taken as needed but also taken every day? My psychiatrist said take it as needed first to see how I feel, then I can start every day.
