Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi Dr. Geller. I have a daughter, 17, who has bipolar and struggles with anxiety and OCD. She takes Lithium, Lamictal, Topamax, Geodon and Paxil. Also, Synthroid. We have had a difficult time keeping her bipolar from being unstable and finally seem to have a good handle on that, but we are left with the anxiety and OCD piece which can be so overwhelming for her. After 5 years, her psychiatrist moved away so she is having to start over with a new one. The new one suggested maybe switching her to Buspar. Could you give me your opinion on Buspar? We need something that won't make her bipolar unstable and will help control her anxiety. We would like to take her off some of her bipolar meds, but it seems she needs them all to be able to handle the Paxil. Thank you.
