I've had a new prescription (Buspar) sitting on my table for five days. I'm supposed to go back to my PCP in a couple of weeks to tell her how it's working. Haven't taken it yet.

I'm so bad with starting new meds. I've had so many unhappy events and am so sensitive to stuff, that I keep putting it off another day.

When I read the side effects, "Call your doctor right away if....", there's a whole list of things that I ALREADY have off and on. How do I know if it's the new med causing "drowsiness" or whatever?

Plus I hate to start something new while I'm working. I can't just leave in the middle of the day. Aaaargh.

Am I the only weenie out here??
