    Starting Buspar tommorow - worried after googling...

    Well today i went to see my doctor and asked him if i could start buspar as my anxiety/panic has gotten very severe to the point i can hardly leave the house.
    I was for once allowed a say in what medication i could go on as in the past it was "seroxat or nothing". Now i was soo scared from the horror stories online that i refused seroxat at the time but after reading a little about buspar i was more inclined to give it go. It seemed like the worst that could happen was that it simply wouldnt work.

    But just now ive been googling a little harder on it and predictably i found a whole bunch of horror stories.

    Now im working myself up again, im just so scared of meds!

    Does anybody have any tips for dealing with this kind of fear and worry? I dont want to get into some sort of negative placebo effect where i get so scared ill start getting worse...

    If you googled aspirin you would probably find horror stories.

    Thanks yenool! Well the starting dose is pretty low so ill just close my eyes, cross my fingers and pop one Was supposed to start tonight but there was some issue at the pharmacy and they had to order them in. So probably will start to tomorrow, i really hope im one of the people it works for! Hey when you researched it did you find anything about taking a benzo while youre on it? I forgot to ask my doctor and i need to know if i can still take one in emergencies...

    Baggs youre right but i have a friend who studied medicine and even he still thinks hes gonna die if he makes the mistake of "bad googling" It just gets into your head you know?
