@@AskDrErik I see docs using prn buspar my understanding is that doesn’t make a lot of sense as it takes a while for it to work similar to ssri, what’re you thoughts on prn buspar for anxiety?
@Mike Jones. Your understanding is correct. Buspirone takes several weeks to produce its anxiety-relieving effects. I have never prescribed it as an “as needed for anxiety” medicine. And I’m not aware of any studies that support that way of prescribing.
You are such a high brow, aren't you. Drug based psychiatry is a 1950s baby boom profession. I was born in the 70s at the dawn of the SSRI revolution and came of age to be conned into taking sertraline. The supermen (Koe, Sarges, Welch) who invented it had challenging and satisfying careers in biochemistry and the CEO of Pfizer got his bonuses and I'm happy for their sake. But I choose not to believe that we live in an age of engineering marvels that are a way to escape common sense and the human condition. What our culture believes about antidepressants is not scientifically true.
Thank you very much for sharing this information
Wow. Thank you Dr. Erik, for this video. I so appreciate your time.

Very good video!
Thanks!
These drugs have little or no clinical effectiveness above and beyond their placebo effects.
I can't 👍 this video, either. Someone is blocking your messages.
