Buspirone

Pregabalin's actually much more expensive to the NHS, around £70 a month, whereas buspirone costs about £17.

My doc prescribed it for me, but did emphasise it would only be for short term use.

I stand corrected, see page 12

My GP prescribed it whilst I was still on citalopram. It really made a difference. For a while I stopped taking it and just took citalopram. My anxiety got worse. I now take just one tablet in the morning, and it still helps.

Buspirone did nothing for me unfortunately. It made me feel ill and gave me the strangest brain zaps. I couldn't last more than two weeks on it.

I was then placed on Zoloft, which has helped me a lot. Initial side effects were bad, but it worked, and eventually they subsided.
