Hi everyone,

So I have been a mess lately and had to stop taking my Adderall for ADD because the side effects were so severe in me (migraines, worsening anxiety, nausea, liver shut-down, and aggression) that it outweighed the benefits. It really helped with my productivity though; just didn't agree with my body. In addition, my SI thoughts have increased vastly and I think about self-harm much more than I used to. I don't think that's related to the Adderall; I think something is awry. (Just to be safe, I am putting the trigger icon up today.)

I mentioned this to my doctor and she wants me on a new anxiety medication in addition to my anti-depressant Celexa called Buspar. After having negative reactions with Ativan and now Adderall, I am a little hesitant of taking new medication, though I know that I really, really, really have to. Has anyone had any experience with Buspar and can give pros/cons about taking it? I would greatly appreciate it.

Sunshine
