norytriptiline or buspar????? - Anxiety Message Board

Does anyone know which one would be making me snappy and aggitated. I've been taking a low dose of the norytriptiline at night mostly for headaches and sleep. And the buspar is of course for anxiety. I just feel joyless and easily aggitated. Does anyone know which is causing this. Could it be buspar? Someone please answer.

I'm not on your particular drug for anxiety (although I am on something), but, from my experience, you should tell your doctor what you're feeling.
They may have to change your dosage.
It could be too much, or too little.
Best of luck.

I appreciate your response but unfortunately I'm past the calling the doc to see what they think. What I mean is I have been going thru this depression anxiety thing for years. I have been on almost everything. I've seen psych docs in the past but got tired of it and then I go back for help again. Currently I'm just seeing my medical doc but he said if these do not work I will have to go back to a doc that can help me further blah blah blah. Anyway I just wanted some opinions from people that have experiance with these meds. Thanks again

I hope someone answers you that can help.

I've seen people here, say that they received more help "here," than from their doctor, just by other people's experiences.

I think it's kind of a "process of elimination," actually, when seeking a med that works for you. If one doesn't work, try another combo...etc...
I was lucky, in that my 2nd time around, Celexa at a low dose has helped immensely.

Hang in there...

I take buspar and never had that type of problem. I have had the jitters, anxiety, anger on antidepressants. Hope this helps. Godlbess
