"i have gad, and after three years of taking care of  my younger brother who has severe gad  as well as going through an episode of pyschosis, i was told by my pdoc that i have &quot;caregiver&#039;s burnout&quot;.

i was prescribed 20 mgs of paxil every day and 15mg of buspirone (buspar) twice a day. it has been nearly a month now on these meds and i do see an improvement. i&#039;m not sure which one is helping me more but my anxiety level has gone from an 8 or 9 every day to about a 5. i hope to see continued improvement."
