Good Morning Dr Charlie, It's nice to be able to talk to a real Doctor under these conditions, i.e when the Dr. is nor wearing a white coat and in a hurry to get into the next room to see another paitent. I have been reading your post's for several months and found them very informative and rational. I have been especially interested in your survey on Buspar, my PWP prescribed it for me but I choose not to take it after reading the mfg's data sheet. I feel now that I was right, and in the future I will allways read as much about any drug that I can obtain before I start taking it. BTW my neuro would not comment critically on the PCP, but reading between the lnes I think he agreed with me that I was probably better off not taking the Buspar. Inb the meantime I took Elavil for three months and then after a week of so of rebound insommina, I am now getting along quite well with no med's except for a blood pressure pill. Thanks again for your input to the list. we need all the help we can get, especially from PWP's like you! Lanier Maddux Chattanooga, Tn. ([log in to unmask])
