Busprione for panic attacks as needed
Hello there! I thought I’d send this into reddit because I don’t know anyone personally who’s taken this med!
I’ve recently had a spike in my physical anxiety symptoms, and have begun experiencing what I can only describe as a panic attack, it’s so insanely physical it takes over my body. I’m not even worried about anything half the time. Heart palpitations, shaking, my hands, arms, feet, and sometimes legs go numb. Sometimes my whole body goes numb. My eyesight becomes affected, can’t breathe, all of the things that you would commonly describe in a panic attack I guess.
I was prescribed 10mg of Buspirone Hcl for as needed usage for these attacks. I’ve read that it works better over time with daily usage. But my prescriber said that this might work for me for a non-daily treatment. I’m going to give it a shot, and if it doesn’t work we will add propranolol for heart palpitations.
Has anyone had experience with this medication with as needed usage? Anything I should know or expect? Thanks for reading.
EDIT: My prescriber directed me to take it as needed, as I mentioned to her I am not looking for a daily use medication. I’m taking this as I was directed by her!!!! Not steering off course of my treatment. I specifically asked for a AS NEEDED medication… which is why I came to ask if it even worked that way to take it for panic attacks and not daily. Will give my provider a call in the morning!
Thank you for you guy’s help, and always looking for what works for you guys because maybe it will help for me :)))
