How long before buspar kicks in?

My dr prescribed buspar. Its been a week, & while I'm generally ok during the day, I have been waking up in the middle of the night with panic attacks. Xanax seems to be the only thing works.

Re: what if you are afraid to go to the doctor??

I am in the same boat. Just made the appt for my annual physical, & I am so stressed out. I do this every year, & every year, I'm fine. Yet, I can't seem to get a grip. I don't know what to do. I've been like this for years.

I have stressed myself out since last thursday. I'm going to the dr tomorrow, but I think I'm overreacting. I feel a small bump in my armpit, & it feels like it's ABOVE the skin, unlike a lymphnode, which is under. I can feel it if I just graze it with my finger, but if I push on it to see if there'...

This is my main problem. I am CONSTANTLY worried about my health. I panic every time I have a doctor's appt, because I fear that something will be wrong. I feel like if I can overcome this, my anxiety woud probaby go away.

I find that when I'm anxious about something in particular, it actually starts to bother me. For example, I had a stomach virus a few weeks ago that has been treated. Now everytime I think about it, I get some kind of weird pain in my stomach or side. Then again, if I'm distracted, it doesn't bother...
