The safest thing you can do is go back and talk to your doctor. Tell him/her exactly what you have put in your post.
It can take up to two weeks before any improvement in symptoms is seen when taking Buspar. Don’t stop taking it suddenly if you have had this medication for a while, you need to stop taking it gradually to avoid withdrawal effects.
Would your doctor cinsider a referral for
Cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT)…
This is a type of specialist ‘talking’ treatment. It is probably the most effective treatment. Cognitive therapy is based on the idea that certain ways of thinking can trigger, or ‘fuel’, certain mental health problems such as panic attacks. A combination of CBT and antidepressants and may work better than either treatment alone.
