Which of these 2 medications is best for Anxiety?
Question:
Answers:
i prefer xanax. Buspar had more side effects including a tingling like feeling that would randomly occur in my hands which increased my anxiety, it doesnt work nearly as well as xanax either.

hmmmm....unsure but paxil sucks, had to change.
They both can work, it depends on the individual, you won't know until you try it...consult your doctor.
xanax
Xanax along with Celexa
Buspar is better once taken regularly and your body gets used to it. Sometimes the dosage needs to be adjusted to find the exact dose for you, so be patient. Xanax is ok, is very easy to get addicted to, can be strong for some people and increase drowsiness, lethargy, ect. However, Xanax does work very well for some people, especially for panic/anxiety attacks, instead of increased day to day anxiety symptoms. Check with your doctor.
xanax is best for treating anxiety buspar is an anti-depressant
I get better results from Atarax.
I feel Xanax works better but i have a biased opinion buspar caused me to have muscle spasms and vomiting for the entire 3 month period i took it. When i started taking Xanax i felt relaxed and in control within an hour the little things no longer bothered me and i was able to function normally.
I also want to note that I am no longer on any medications i self medicate with marijuana now it works the best however it is still illegal and i do not advise anyone to use illegal drugs unless you are willing to accept the consequences that are emminent, like going to jail for possesion
Results will vary by individuals. Xanax has worked for me better than Buspar. I now take Ativan and it seems to get me through the day without being too "out of it."
That is not something any of us can answer for you,medication is something that has to be an indivizualized decision between Dr. and patient. Your body chemistry differs from mine,etc.
He considers your symptoms,severity,allergies,ot... medications,your weight,age,side affects,etc.
Only you and your Dr. can decide what works best for you.
I've heard lots of good things about them both. Klonopin which makes me very sleepy but I can't get the Dr to change it!
But Lexapro does wonders for me.
Everyone is different. What works for me, may not work for you.
xanax i would say. However be careful with it. If you become addicted to the xanax this can be very serious. It has been proven that people who abruptly stop xanax can get seizures. So I would speak to your dr. If i were you.
I would say Klonopin (Clonazapam) is by far the best for anxiety,and getting to sleep quickly. You can start low (1/2mg). I usally take 1mg and usually that's all I need. I have severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have been using this med for like 15 years. I use it as needed but I know people who take it 1-3 times per day. I average 1-3 per day but some days I don't need it at all. Good luck!!!
Buspar didn't work for me at all...made me worse in fact...
klonopin is what helps me.....
both. buspar is a drug that has to build up in you to do any good .xanax is a 6 hour helper then wears off. I use xanax it helps a great deal but very addicting if not used right.
