| 5 | | 4/20/2001 | 5 | | 10/6/2007 | 5 | anxiety | None, really. It has all been good. No side-effects or withdrawl when I have stopped. Not saying ti is for everyone. | First of all, God bless those suffering from depression and/or anxiety - it is a hell of its own. For me, Buspar never made me "high" at all. The only thing I felt was relief from the impending doom of anxiety. For me the result was automatic. My husband noticed the only change in me was this acute sense of anxiety was gone, but other than that, no other changes. I know certain drugs affect us all differently. All I can say is, please keep trying. Eat right and exercise (SERIOUSLY A BIG DEAL), then try to get a drug balance if that is what you need. For me it is Prozac, Welbutrin, then Buspar. I lucked out after many trials and much suffering. I'll stay on this the rest of my life if I need to. Be kind to yourself, pray, and look for more help if what you are getting is not enough. I understand your plight....just hold on and keep looking. the answer is there somewhere. Part of mine was Buspar. A God-send. | 46 | 1 years | 12/30/2009 | 4 | 1 days | 1/10/2016 | 4 | anxiety | | 5/16/2004 | 4 | | 1/14/2003 | 4 | fgjfdjdfgjh | fgjfgjgfjfgj | gfjjfgjfgj | | 2/12/2005 | 3 | | 2/1/2005 | 3 | | 4/26/2002 | 3 | googd | ffr | ddd | | 3/19/2008 | 3 | anxiety | Felt wired, vivid dreams, weight gain | Did help anxiety level, but at expense of weight gain of 20 lbs. | 55 | 2 years | 1/15/2004 | 3 | | 7/6/2005 | 3 | anxiety/panic attacks | taking geodon, vistaril, buspar, and lexapro- cannot tell which one is giving me terrible, vivid dreams- the vistaril has made my taste buds stand on end- I can taste things way better- I am calm, but i still get panicky all the time- I would like xanax, but my doc wont prescribe it bec of the addictive qualities- the one drug that helped me out quite a bit in times of dire emergency, and now I cant get it again. I dont know much abt buspar- its hard for me to tell which pill is doing what job- one of them is giving me mild acne- | I think its ok- save the fact that I have to take it three times a day | 32 | 1 months | 10/13/2009 | 2 | Aniexty | Ringing of ears and tingling feeling | 66 | 1 days 30 mg | 10/9/2019 | 2 | anxiety | sweating, mental fogginess, loss of emotion, poor concentration, loss of short and long-term memory | helped with my anxiety but at price that just wasn't worth it. no continuity of thought and a feeling of detachment to everything - present, past, future. if i had life-threatening anxiety, i might make that sacrifice but buspar has been something of chemical lobotomy. i used to be mentally sharp and my profession requires me to be at the top of my game - not possible on this medication. i had my first car accident two weeks after starting this - first thing that clued me into something gone wrong. i tapered off fast and feel about the same after a week. everything takes twice as long to process, always "double-checking" thoughts and perceptions (is it a green traffic light? is this the right word to use?, etc.) hoping i get my old self back soon. didn't realize how much i liked it. | 41 | 70 days 5 2X day | 9/9/2012 | 2 | Anxiety | Dizziness up to one hour after taking; headache, nausea, grogginess, vivid dreams. | This appeared to help anxiety but side effects not good; stopped by tapering off; have been off it totally for 2 weeks. Bad effects from discontinuation: severe headache/neckache, sleepiness, depression, nausea, early norming shivers, alternative heat and chills like flu like symptoms. Would never take this again. | 59 | 6 months 15 2X day | 10/23/2012 | 1 | | 8/12/2005 | 1 | | 5/3/2006 | 1 | It didn't help at all... | 1 years | 10/17/2001 | 1 | Anxiety | Vivid nightmares laden with anxiety. I have now developed muscle twitches in my face. My skin is so dry it flakes off if I touch my face. | It was fantastic for the first two months. The anxiety relief was great. I could live with the dry skin. After a month the dreams started happening. I now can hardly sleep without having an anxiety nightmare. Now the muscles in my face have started twitching more and more every day. The anxiety is coming back and I am getting very worried. | 3 months | 1/19/2005 |
