Well, I have very bad anxiety 24/7 and it gets even worse when outside, when in stores or gas stations and such, and/or around groups of people. I get nervous, sweaty, shaky, my thoughts race, I think people are talking about me and staring at me even when I know they have no reason to, I can't stop moving and messing with things, and sometimes I even have small muscle spasms in my legs and face. I can't even have any friends because of this. I get too worried around other people so I'm anti-social and lonely.
I'm 16. I've tried to tell my mom to talk to the doctor about it but she always just says tough it out and blah blah blah. Then when I do go to the doctor, my mom doesn't let me talk much and she tells him the wrong things. She and my doctor assume that I have depression problems but I know I don't. I've been on dozens of anti-depression and ADHD meds all my life since I was 7. I always have to switch meds because they never seem to work on me. They always gives me stuff for depression like SSRI drugs like prozac, zoloft, etc.
I've also had a problem in the past (year and a half ago) with drug abuse but I quit. Maybe this stops him from giving me the meds that I think will actually effect me? I've been off drugs for so long. I don't understand.
I'm tired of it! I don't know what I can do to make my mom listen to me. I can't deal with this anymore. It's driving me crazy. I need something that will actually help me out and I don't know how I can. I'm suffering. It's so bad that I'm going kinda insane. My anxiety is controlling my life.
Now finally my therapist and doctor are kinda listening to me and believing me. I have to go in and see this certain doctor of some sort and hes been highly recommending Buspar. I'm most likely going to be prescribed that but I honestly want just Xanax because I KNOW that Xanax works. I've taken Xanax before (not recreationally but I was given a 1mg before). He says its better because it has less side effects and is less addicting but it takes weeks to actually work correctly, and to me this seems like another type of SSRI or an anti-psychotic. I've never been fond of those. What does everyone here think about Buspar? I've already read a decent amount about it and it seems like its complete crap.
