Buspirone and horrible dreams

I don’t know if they are necessarily bad dreams but I have vivid dreams!

@Heather some aren’t all bad, but I agree they are vivid. When I have a bad one though it puts me in a fog for a while. I’ve noticed it’s normally a day when I also have a migraine.

That’s so interesting! Have you felt like it’s been helping anxiety?

I took one buspirone and had to immediately be taken off it. I took it, fell asleep on the couch in a very deep sleep. My partner woke me ad told me I should go get in bed. I felt this absolute rage that I've never experienced before that or since. So they put me on Xanax. Which made me cranky. So they put me on klonopin, I enjoyed those to much and it made me uncomfortable. So now I just live with extreme anxiety.

@Heather Not a whole lot. It seems to help some I guess, but I still have bouts where I wanna crawl out of my skin. I take 5-7.5 mg. I’m prescribed 10mg, but I took a full dose one day and I felt my my brain was getting a massage and I was super dizzy. I felt pretty decent afterwards, but I don’t think I could handle going from 5mg-10mg so I just adjust when I see fit.

@BrittanyI just started taking it and I guess it takes several weeks to start working so I am not really feeling and relief.

@Ashlin I could see the rage part because I too seem to get frustrated easily. Although, it has been 110F around here so the heat doesn’t help. Idk whether I should switch or not. I thought about trying a more herbal route, but idk. The dreams just are crazy and it’s to the point where sometimes I have anxiety of falling asleep. I used to sleep so well and I love my sleep. My son sleeps through the night. My mom had to live with it also, but I was really hoping there was a way I could cope or that something could help fix my brain. I’ve always had some form of anxiety, but after I had my son and I stopped pumping it’s been getting so bad.

I would talk to your dr.
