I tried the Buspar today for the first time. Took half a tab in the morning with BP meds and got even sleepier than the BP meds usually make me, so I thought, OK, I can handle being sleepy. Then I took another half by itself in the afternoon after lunch and it was horrible. Hot flashes, heart racing, felt like I was having trouble breathing.
Not gonna try that again! Apparently some doctors say deal with the hot flashes and racing heart, but I won't, and definitely won't deal with anything that affects my breathing in a scary way.
I may try the Lexapro in a couple of days, or may just give up and accept being anxious and stressed out all the time.
