| 4 | anxiety after 6 wk hospitalization | Been on medication for 18 months and it really worked well. Sleeping improved from 7 hours of sleep in 3 days to about three hours of sleep a day. At that time it was an improvement but after these many months insomnia is still a problem.............terrible weight gain...........and poor concentration...........This drug was a miracle drug for several months but because condtion was so bad, I did not realize the ongoing side effects. Other classification of drugs did not work.........I do not regret taking Buspar.............It was a life saver but now I have to address the weight gain and the insomnia....Periodically, I get sharp shooting pains in my head which I now wonder about.....The doctors were attributing these pains to arthritis in my neck which I questioned........ | F | 80 | 18 days | 1/9/2005 | 2 | depression | dizziness fatique blurred vision general feeling of blah | M | 76 | 120 days | 7/7/2009 | 4 | Anxiety | I can't say yet it's to soon. Started taking it for extreme anxiety that I have suffered with for over 40 years. My heart was shaking or palpitating before I started but so far it's still shaky. Hoping this med will help. I had headaches before starting also. Going to try some Botox for that tomorrow. To much is blamed on this med especially if taken with others as these docs perscribe. Dosages way to high to start with too. They over perscribe meds especially anti depressants. | F | 74 | 4 days 5 1X day | 8/24/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | Sleep not racing thoughts out of body brain zaps no confusion | F | 73 | 4 months 10 mh | 1/19/2020 | 1 | anxiety | lightheaded, dizziness, upset stomach, These side effects occurred within a few minutes after taking my first dose. I will not take another. | The doctor did not warn me about the side effects so I was alarmed and initially thought I might be having a heart attack. Thank goodness for Google! | F | 73 | 1 days 10MGx3 1X day | 1/14/2021 | 1 | anxiety | Dizzy Headache Confused Muscle Cramps Could not sleep when I did extreme nightmares! | I do NOT recommend this medication.I will stay with Zanax, to me,Buspar side effects are dangerous to a person of age!!! | F | 72 | 6 days | 3/14/2015 | 4 | Tbi | None | I sopped and I became a little anxious | M | 71 | 1 days 10mg | 12/18/2014 | 1 | Anxiety | Feeling hot, anxiety, waking up during the night, nervous feeling I am going off of this medication it's not for me | F | 69 | 19 days 5mg 1X day | 11/28/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | Started out for first few days ok then it spiraled into really bad stomach and evil horrible nightmares..... | Maybe I should have given it more time but I just couldn't take my particular side effects felt awful after about 3 or for days on! | M | 69 | 14 days | 2/16/2018 | 1 | feeling overwhelmed, anxiety | Had constant driving headache, my skull felt like it would burst. I got more depressed, and then just completely flat. I felt half dead, not like myself, and was sleeping 15-16 hours a day. Also had terrible body pains, leg cramping, almost unable to walk (I am a runner). I felt like a non-being. | Would never take it again. I'd rather be the way I was before starting it. At least I felt ALIVE!!Also, mystomach burned so intensely I could not put out the fire. My Nexium, Ranitidine and Tums all were completely inffective. | F | 68 | 3 weeks 15mgX2 2X day | 10/7/2011 | 1 | Anxiety | Weight gain of 20 lbs, insombia, numbness of fingers, diahrrhea, dizziness, disorientation, loss of memory, confusion, extreme muscle aches and fluid retention causing pressure on bone joints which resulted in terrible arthritic like pain symptoms. | I would not recommend BuSpar to anyone. The symptoms sneaked up slowly and I did not relate them to the drug early on. | F | 68 | 10 weeks | 7/6/2002 | 1 | Anxiety | Stomachache, diarrhea, and much worse anxiety | It either works great, or lots of side effects | F | 68 | 2 days 5mgs 2X day | 8/1/2019 | 2 | GAD | To start it actually increased my anxiety to the point I had to supplement with Xanax which before starting, I was only taking when needed. .. since stating Busbar I had to supplement every day .. why??? Also created intolerable insomnia .. which just made the anxiety worse the next day .. stomach, dry eyes and mouth , muscle issues, bowell issues .. one day I'd feel great the next I'd feel like death ... Of course my primary told me only side effect was a little drowsiness .. they are so clueless .. its pathetic .. yes I was drowsy , and felt in a fog most of the day until the dose wore off .. just too much I'll effects for me .. what's the point ? | I had 2 decent days out of 11... I don't trust this drug .. just not worth it at this point .. I tried .. | M | 67 | 11 days 5 mg 2x d | 7/21/2017 | 1 | GAD | Very fatigued, very increased blood pressure, nausea, neck pain, anxiety, depression and flu like symptoms. | Very bad side effects. Gave it a shot for 3 weeks but finally couldn't take it anymore. Actually I thought it would get a little better with each passing day but it got worse each day. It may work well for somebody else but this drug really stinks as far as I'm concerned. 2 days off and feeling a little more normal. The GAD is still here but the side effects of this drug make my GAD look like a walk in the park on a sunny day vs. the bad side effects of this drug. | M | 67 | 3 weeks 15MG 3X day | 3/11/2016 | 5 | anxiety | None | F | 66 | 10 weeks | 4/11/2005 | 3 | Aniexty | Ringing of ears | These kind of drugs suck | M | 66 | 1 weeks 30mg | 10/7/2019 | 2 | Aniexty | Ringing of ears and tingling feeling | 66 | 1 days 30 mg | 10/9/2019 | 1 | Anxiety | Fatigue, brain fog, nausea, weak in the knee feeling. The horrible feeling I get after taking this is in and of itself increasing my anxiety. | Had maybe one or two times for a few hours out of the 11 days taking this where I felt like it was working for my anxiety, but the overall sick feeling I get after taking it makes it not worth it for me. Going to stop taking it. | F | 66 | 11 days 2.5 mg 2X day | 4/29/2022 | 1 | anxiety | Severe muscle aches in legs and Arms neck and back. Hair loss. My legs feel like they are going to fall off And Sometimes I can barely walk. I stopped buspar about 2 months ago and I am still having all the painful side effects. I am afraid I have tardive dyscansia. I am in constant chronic pain!!! | I would not recommend this drug to anyone. it has corroborating life long side effects | F | 66 | 4 months 20mg | 12/10/2014 | 1 | Generalized Anxiety Disorder | I was given Buspar to add to Lexapro -150 mg. I experienced accelerated heart rate, sweating, nausea, diarrhea. The worst of it was seeing strange images, tryi mg to touch what I thought was there, and hearing repetitive voices/singing. I was so shaken I discontinued it. Has anyone else experienced this? How long will that dose be affective. I know I'm Not Crazy....... | F | 66 | 1 days 30 | 11/9/2013 |
