| 1 | Anxiety | I only took it for 3 weeks. My anxiety was off the charts after the first week much worse than without the drug. Also had new depression and couldn't stop crying. Dizziness and insomnia too. Stopped taking it and took a month for me to feel normal again. | F | 53 | 21 days 10 mg 1X day | 9/19/2023 | 1 | Anxiety | The first week I started to feel a little depressed but then thought maybe it was the anxiety. By day 13 I woke up and couldn't stop crying. I cried for 2 days. I quit taking it. I have been off it for 3 days and have no motivation. My depression is worse and i feel sad and panicky most of the day. I feel worse than I did before taking it. I hope I feel better in a couple days | F | 56 | 16 days 10mg 2X day | 5/17/2023 | 1 | Anxiety | Depression suicide thought s excessive dark thought s Picked a tree where l was going to hung myself I thought l was going mad | The devil I. Disguise | M | 57 | 0 months 10mgs 2X day | 4/10/2023 | 1 | Anxiety | After day 10 of taking buspirone..I broke out with hives really bad in my chest.I just couldn't stop.itching at all.My chest looks terrible ...hives all in my chest around my neck and over my breast.Its not a good feeling at all very tired of itching | F | 56 | 10 days 5 mg 2X day | 3/29/2023 | 1 | Anxiety, Family member got Cancer | This has really made me more anxious and scared than I've ever been in my life. Tried to quit cold turkey once, I have been having tingling, burning and zapping mostly in my feet but sometimes on my face and shins, weirdly sometimes genitals. I can be in a state of panic for hours just hearing the air purifier. Especially as the dose wears off I get so anxious and I haven't had this much anxiety even when I was loosing it over my moms cancer. It makes me dizzy and have heart palpitations. I've become way more obsessed with health concerns. | This works for many people but it didn't for me, and despite all the reviews about tingling, doctors treat it like it's an ultra rare reaction. I hope that I will go back to how I was before before I started taking this. | M | 33 | 4 months 10MG 2X day | 3/6/2023 | 1 | Anxiety/ Panic Disorders | Insomnia Increased heart rate Cold and Hot Increased fear Just felt off being in this Depression | I am not a fan at all of this medication. I was taking 10 mg twice a day and it did help panic attacks, but the side effects such as feeling overly depressed hit me out of no where and that felt worse than any panic attack or anxiety. Also I couldn't sleep , I am still having trouble sleeping and I've been off this medication for 6 days now. I've never had issues sleeping prior to this medication. | M | 33 | 30 days 10MG 2X day | 12/22/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | I stopped taking buspar after two doses because the dizziness was too intense I couldn't drive. Now 3 weeks after my last dose I am permanently dizzy and having chest pains. Have to see and E.N.T and possibly a neurologist. This drug ruined my life. | F | 33 | 2 days 7.5 2X day | 10/8/2022 | 1 | Morning | Did not help with anxiety and made me more anxious as well as just disconnected to the point at times I feel like I'm losing my mind. | M | 47 | 4 months 10mgx2 2X day | 10/1/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Muscle pain in legs and chest. Feel very stiff and sore. Ironically the chest pain makes the anxiety worse. | F | 50 | 60 days 5mg 1X day | 8/1/2022 | 1 | Generalized anxiety disorder | Increased anxiety, restlessness, panic attacks, headaches | Decided to take it due to my anxiety being severe. This medication made my anxiety worse than before. I'm currently going through a horrible spiral of anxiety thanks to this medication. Guess it doesn't work for everyone | F | 25 | 7 days 5mg 3X day | 6/14/2022 | 1 | functional dyspepsia | Made me feel like I was high and very aggressive when taking it. Also had increased anxiety and did not feel like myself while on it. Completely useless drug | F | 38 | 0 days 10 1X day | 5/29/2022 | 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 | Feeling like I have the flu .weakness in my leg and my chest feeled funny | 61 | 3 months 15 3X day | 4/17/2022 | 1 | Help with my anxiety... | I am experiencing chills a lot, then it goes to hot flashes! It's worse than menopause ever was with me!!! My anxiety still hits me right out of the blue, anywhere, anytime! I do not drive or even leave my house unless I have to go to the Dr. I hate this feeling of being in prison in my own home because of depression and anxiety!!! I also have nausea, heartburn, extreme tiredness but my mind is still racing so therefore I can't sleep and I'm up most every night all night long... Now I nap during the day a couple of times and when I wake up I've slept almost 3-4 hours!!!! My joints especially my knees are so painful and stiff and sore that I cry sometimes! This is crazy! I also have hypothyroidism... And clinical depression.... I can't win...no matter what I do.... I also crave carbs and sweets like never before and I've gained a lot of weight which makes me feel even worse.... Nightmares are guaranteed when I do sleep!!! I hate it!!! | F | 64 | 90 days 0.5mg. 1X day | 4/2/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Extreme hunger 30 min after taking. Quit 3 days ago, waves of hunger and nausea, insomnia, flu like symptoms, terrible anxiety and restlessness | How long do withdrawal side effects last- awful! | F | 65 | 40 days 5 mg 2X day | 3/29/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Anxiety has drastically improved, but since about 30 hrs after the first dose, I've had horrible heart palpitations. They are constant. All day and night. Waking in the night from them even. Doctor keeps telling me to say on it the side effects will go away, but I'm on week for of heart palpitations (or where my heat feels like it does a flip in my chest). Im going to taper off. Take 1/2 pill tonight. This drug isn't for me and it sucks because it was really working for my anxiety. | F | 38 | 26 days 10mg 2X day | 3/21/2022 | 1 | Generalized Anxiety Disorder | Horrid panic attacks, insomnia, shakes, tremors, psychosis, hysteria, seizures, hypersensitivity to everything. Dissociation, couldn't eat, depression and anxiety worsened. Stopped taking it a week ago and I'm STILL having the worst panic attacks of my life. Currently using benzos to stop panic attacks and be able to sleep. About to start taking Remeron, hoping it works. | Do NOT take this stuff. It's poison. | F | 23 | 21 days 10 MG 1X day | 2/20/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Restlessness, brain fog, nausea, flushed | F | 45 | 5 days 5mg 1X day | 12/17/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | I got extreme muscle pain and it's been 5 months I still haven't gotten better. | If anyone else has this please let me know | F | 34 | 4 days 10 1X day | 12/17/2021 | 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 |
