I started taking zoloft (sertraline) in Feb and it did not help with my depression, in fact it made me feel even more suicidal. I told my pdoc this when I saw him again in April and instead of taking me off it, he add buspar (buspirone). That had no effect and then, in a hypomanic episode later that began later that month, I decided I didn't need meds at all and stopped taking them cold turkey. I told him that when I saw him again in May and he got angry at me and said he would no longer prescribe me medicine because "clearly you are against taking meds". That is so not true.
Anyway I no longer see that pdoc, and I don't have access to a new one until next month. My anxiety has been horrible lately, and I still have the leftover meds from when I quit taking them... would it be a bad idea to start taking buspar again? (Not the one that made me suicidal) Just to see if it helps?
