Has anyone had good results with Buspar? No scary stories please, but would love to hear how it helped!! I am not depressed, but have anxiety/panic and dont want to use benzodiazapenes. Thanks!

Hello Cgirl1: Yes, I've been on buspar before in a fairly low dosage- 10 mg per day and found it to work well with controlling anxiety. Good for you for staying away from the more potent stuff. The withdrawals, side effects, etc. are bad... real bad. None of that with buspar, in my case that is. Good Luck. Let me know if I can help.

Yes, have been on Buspar for a while,it does help with anxiety. No real side effects, I take 20mg. per day. Think it does slow me down at times, but that seems to be OK. Good Luck and God Bless.

I was just prescribed Buspar, got it filled, but too afraid to take it. I was trying to come off Klonopin and had bad withdrawls, so other meds scare me.

I have tried Effexor and Lexipro but am very sensitive and have had bad side effects. Sounds like you had side effects with other meds as well. Can you tell me what side effects you had with other drugs and how buspar is working for you?

Hi there! My name is Kim and I was too on Buspar 30 mg a day (weaning off of the klonopin which I've been on for 14-15 months) It didn't work well for me. I had to call my Dr. and get put back on 0.5 mg of klonopin 2x a day which helps me more & to stay on track. A pharmacist told me alot of people can't take Buspar because it doesn't have the same calming effect as klonopin ( a different chemical make up) Good Luck

I took Buspar about 8 years ago - 10 mgs. It worked great with me. I took it for several months. I did not have any side effects, no problem getting off of it either.

Buspar 5MG worked greatly. Buspirone helps short-term relief of anxiety symptoms such as irritability, fear and tension. It can cause side effects such as nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, nervousness, insomnia, blurred vision, and headache. Don't afraid to take it.
