You could talk to your pdoc again to voice your concerns-as an RN & former Pharmacy tech I can share that lots of these meds have the potential for TD-having said that many times older meds are often much cheaper than the flavor of the month the drug companies are pushing so that means they aren't getting as much money. I encourage you to do some research-also you might list the med on here to get feedback form others that have taken it. Good luck.

After seeing my T yesterday we talked a lot about slowing me down-my racing thoughts, PTSD experiences, anxiety & juggling everything inside me trying to seem normal. Definitely need some extra help right now so am definitely talking to my pdoc Monday not just about increasing Buspar but that I am quite distressed & need something to help me while I'm trying to process all this shite. You can only deep breathe so much.
