"i have suffered from anxiety &amp; depression (with a side of bipolar disorder) since i was a teenager. i&#039;ve tried so many different medications over the years! i now feel like my doctors and i have found the right mix for what my body needs. i suffer from severe degenerative arthritis as well as a few other medical concerns that placed me on tramadol &amp; flexeril to try to manage my pain. when i asked for an anxiety medication back (they took me off 7 months ago), she prescribed buspirone 7.5 bid prn. it&#039;s only been 3 days, but let me tell you, i have noticed a significant difference in my thought processes, my nerves, and my sleep. all of them have had positive effects. i&#039;ve only experienced drowsiness in the mornings."
