| 5 | Anxiety/Panic Disorder | No side effects | Never did I imagine that Buspar would work so well. I have tried many things for my panic attacks, which was a daily battle. Buspar was added partly to boost the lexpro I had been on for a few years and partly the hope of relieving panic/worry. It made such an incredible difference I was really in shock. Everything I read made is seem like it wouldn't do much. But for me it was a miracle. | F | 45 | 1 years 10 mg 2X day | 7/6/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | Felt like everything drain from body,shaking, rapid heart rate and slow down, rise again. | M | 43 | 1 days 10 mg | 6/14/2016 | 2 | Major Anxiety Disorder and Depressi | Dizziness that wont go away, Ringing in my ears feeling I am going to pass out when I move. I am Paranoid. Never had that before. | I have been on this medication for 2 weeks now I feel as tho I am withdrawing from what I was taking for 10 years "Clonazepam". I am dizzy light headed I hear a fuzzy noise in my ears that jerks when I blink or move .I keep going from one room to the next. I have had a slight reduction of anxiety but the side effects are worse than having the anxiety. Some people seam to have a good response to this drug. I am not one of those people. | M | 60 | 2 weeks 10MG 2X day | 5/31/2016 | 4 | Anxiety | Slight dizziness after taking the pill about 20 minutes and insomnia hope that it goes away but my anxiety is gone so I would recommend this pill | F | 46 | 1 months 15 mg | 5/23/2016 | 3 | ptsd and depression | Dizzyness at first. Later electical feelings in arms when breathing out. Stiff and painful leg and butt symptoms. Fast heart rate after first taking in the morning. The medication helped with anxious thoughts right away. Some help with depression. If i miss a dose. I feel very depressed though. It is great to not be contantly nervous. But i hate the other symptoms. | F | 55 | 1 months .25 mg | 5/11/2016 | 5 | PTSD (combat), GAD, depression | No side effects. I thought how I felt was some type of placebo effect but that is not the case. I am so unbelievably grateful for this medicine. | M | 44 | 3 days 30mg | 5/10/2016 | 1 | Gad | Does not. Work | F | 53 | 9 days 30 | 5/4/2016 | 3 | Psych added to the mix for depression | Not 100% sure if it is the buspar but after I take it in the morning and with dinner, I play this droning music in my head and I get the hot flash as well. | F | 65 | 8 months 10mg x2 | 5/1/2016 | 2 | Anxiety | I was taking Buspar for anxiety. My anxiety is cause by bipolar disorder. I had bad reaction to it. I an adverse reaction to it. I was pacing back and forth for no reason. I was extremely emotional. I started to go into hypomania. This medicine does help allot people. But if you have bipolar disorder. It may trigger manic episodes. Please keep in touch with your doctor while taking it? It doesn't have adverse affects to all bipolar disorder. But in some cases it does. I know the feeling I had was horrible. | F | 33 | 2 months 30mg a day | 4/23/2016 | 1 | GAD / Depression | Increased anxiety, extreme restlessness, rapid heartbeat, insomnia, head/body tingles, flu like symptoms, chills | I hate it. Be warned this stuff isn't as innocuous as doctors make it out to be. And you absolutely CAN have withdrawal symptoms, so watch out for that. | F | 27 | 3 days 10 Mg | 4/20/2016 | 1 | Anxiety from synthyroid medication | Have been chomping my teeth stopped day 2 days ago and still doing it. I was not sleeping but couple hours a night, throat was swelling it was hard to swallow food and throat had gotten sore. | I am taking hydroxyzine 25mg there times a day. How long will these side effects last? | F | 54 | 10 days 5mg | 4/16/2016 | 4 | Extreme munchies and calming effect after 30 mintues of taking. Last maybe and hour. But I love this medicine. It's changed my life. I can actually enjoy it. I have extreme depression and anxiety. I have tried lots of other depression medicine. This one is the best. | F | 23 | 3 years | 4/6/2016 | 1 | Anxiety, depression | Worsened depression and anxietySleepiness, headaches, fatigue, nausea, I NEEDED to be around people all the time (I became extremely clingy to everyone around me) | I was told that I wouldn't experience symptoms yet I did. It made my anxiety and depression so much worse and improved absolutely nothing. I was supposed to take 2 pills a day but they always made me pass out an hour after taking it. I had to constantly be around people (I'm naturally a loner) so I would go to public place just to be around people even though I didn't know them. I am underweight, so maybe I should have stuck with a smaller dose of this medication. | F | 19 | 2 months 30mg | 3/28/2016 | 5 | GAD | For 1 week when I first started taking it: insomnia For 1 month when I first started taking it: dizziness Side effects now: intensifies effect of caffeine | I love buspar - it reduces my anxiety without making me feel different in any way. No side effects whatsoever after the first month, except that if I drink coffee within 1 hour of taking a pill, it makes the coffee stronger - like I just had 2 cups instead of 1 cup. | F | 33 | 4 years 15 mg | 3/19/2016 | 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 | 4 | Anxiety & panic attacks | I didn't have any until Dec 2015.I was having more nervous problems,sweating,headaches,nausea,etc.the more I took it.Been off of it for a week.Having withdrawal symptoms.Don't know what I can take in place of it.Sleeping problems r worse. | F | 60 | 6 years 10mg 3x | 3/4/2016 | 2 | Anxiety | Anxiety, bad thoughts, trouble sleeping | At first I felt good and I didn't know if it was the Medline just knowing there was something on board that calmed me but I had trouble sleeping and anxiety as I kept taking it. Then I had a bad thought about hurting my husband and immediately stopped taking it. I have never been so scared of a thought in my life it sent me into a full blown body shaking anxiety attack. Ugh I hate this | F | 26 | 9 days 5mg 2x a d | 2/18/2016 | 1 | Irritabity, anxiety from Wellbutrin | Increased anxiety, near panic attacks, overly sensitive/emotional | Definitely made a bad decision to start this medication before taking a vacation. Ruined what should have been a relaxing trip..turned into me feeling very anxious and emotional | F | 38 | 6 days | 2/17/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | Blood pressure dropped to dangerously low level. Felt extremely dizzy and irritable. Also had rigidity of muscles in my neck along with feelings of detached emotional state. | Although I was on very low dose side effects nearly disabling. | F | 54 | 3 days 5mg | 2/16/2016 | 2 | Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction | When taken in 10 mg doses - nothing. When taken in 30-60 mg - electric shocks throughout my whole body, dizziness. | Some say buspar helped their SSRI sexual side effects, so I decided to try it. But the buspirone did not raise my libido, not in low, not in high doses. | M | 22 | 3 days 10-60 mg 1X AN | 2/9/2016 |
