[QUOTE="stalln4x, post: 558626, member: 15244"] I hope it's not out of my place to chime in but I saw your post in the watercooler and I have specifically read and heard about Buspar being better if someone's an athlete than benzos to avoid excessive sedation and the ataxia/clumsiness that benzos can bring. But, Buspar is supposed to take a while to start working and wouldn't help for acute episodes of panic (though it would/may prevent them). I used to be a pretty avid runner and I took a xanax once and was wobbly and tired well into the next day (but I think the dose was too high). May I ask what he didn't like about Valium? My doctor's pushing for this as maybe a once-in-a-while sleep aid or anxiety medication because he thinks the longer, less sudden/potent effect would be less addictive but eh. It sounds like his doctors are very competent and that involuntary tranquilizer addiction (as the people who accidentally got hooked on benzos in Europe call it) shouldn't be an issue. On the other hand, I'm an addict of sorts myself and I honestly thought Xanax was a street drug until I started reading up on pharmacology. That's cool your son's living independently and at such a young age. I'm jealous and you must be super proud. :) [/QUOTE]
