"i am new to the anxiety realm, and have already tried a few different meds (xanax, ativan, buspar) and so far buspar has shown the most promise. however, even on buspar i still experience sporadic chest pressure, sharp pains in the chest, brain buzz, and muscle twitches. today the chest issues were so bad that i had to take a xanax.

i am typically against prescribed meds, and this is really the first time in my life taking them. the side effects and other dangers scare the crap out of me, but i need to figure out how to subdue my anxiety.

does anyone have any suggestions?"
