| 2 | anxiety | none | no side effects and made anxiety worse. my guess is the norepinephidrine effects triggered my anxiety. why on earth! would you give an adrenaline- based drug to someone who suffers with anxiety!? | M | 48 | 1 months 10mg 1X day | 9/25/2017 | 1 | Panic Disorder | Extreme dizziness | This med did nothing for my anxiety and it had one particularly unbearable side effect--extreme dizziness about an hour after taking it. I mean it was like I had vertigo. I would be sitting up in bed and suddenly feel like the ceiling became the floor and I was falling through space! These brief dizzy spells lasted 2 seconds on average, but they were recurring. It was extremely unpleasant and after a month of toughing it out, it still did nothing for my anxiety and the dizziness was too much to bear so I said goodbye. | M | 29 | 1 months N/A 1X day | 12/17/2014 | 1 | Anixety | Headaches,muscle aches,sore thoart, leg pain,dizziness,chest pain,vivid nightmares | Might work for some but this medcine is not for me | F | 29 | 1 months 7.5 | 7/5/2015 | 1 | anxiety | Not good at all.Once I got to 30 mg.it affected my mind.I was unsure of my thinking.Then it affects my sensory process.Everything was loud to me.All things in life as very loud.This was awful for me.I just thought it was a panic attack...I wont take another pill in my life time.Busbur was like poision to me... | F | 57 | 1 months yes | 9/11/2012 | 1 | Anxiety | I have never had a panic attack until I started taking this medication.

He developed seratonin syndrome had multi organ failure, a stroke and amputation to fingers and toes all reactions to the medication prescribed properly or not. We have yet to solve this mystery. Looking for expert review to solve this mystery and other seratonin cases. [email protected] | Would not recommend this drug to anyone who does not want to be disabled for the rest of their life (or dead). | M | 33 | 1 months | 10/22/2001 | 1 | anxiety | heart palpatations, insomnia, severe anxiety and panic attacks, felt disconnected, mind racing, restless | I would do research before taking this. My doctors kept insisting that I needed to give it time to start working. The side effects just kept getting worse. This stuff is horrible. I kept going ER and to my doctor because of this stuff and they told me to keep taking it. I'm weening myself off. I'm on day two without it I almost feel like myself again, the first day was the the worst. | F | 37 | 1 months | 5/2/2008 | 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 | 3 | Anxiety | I take 1/2 pill 2 times a day. After I take my morning dosage I am extremely dizzy. It last for about an hour to an hour and a half. I've had some headaches more so then before on the medication. Vivid and Lucid dreams. | This medication has helped me so much. I use to feel like I was sinking onto the floor. Impending doom. Faint, sweaty, Dizzy(all day), fidgety, My Anxiety was always at a 10+. Now I can go weeks feeling alright. I do still have to take a Xanax .25mg every now and again. It did take about 2 months to feel this way. The only thing I don't like about it is the Dizziness I'm hoping it goes away with time. | F | 34 | 12 weeks 15mg 2X day | 9/27/2010 | 5 | anxiety | None | F | 66 | 10 weeks | 4/11/2005 | 3 | Social Anxiety, General Anxiety | Twitchy, senses have become sharp to the point that I see, hear, and feel little things for half a second that don't exist, tingling sensations in legs and hands on a daily basis that last a few minutes, slight weight gain, soreness. | I took Buspar for a little over 2 months. It takes a couple of weeks to really kick in, but it does help with anxiety. Not as much help as I would like, but it does take away some of it. The side effects have made me switch to another medication. I would twitch randomly, and after 4 weeks, I felt sore in places that would otherwise be normal. I also have heard of possible hair loss. I don't enjoy taking one medication more than once a day (Buspar is taken two or three times a day). Overall, it does help with anxiety, but the side effects are not worth it to me. | M | 20 | 10 weeks 15 2X day | 3/10/2011 | 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 | insomnia, parathesia | I have been off this medication for two weeks and still have numbness and pain in my hands and feet. I am wondering if there is actually nerve damage as I never had this before and just now found out that this a side effect for some. Is there anyone else this is happening to? | F | 44 | 10 weeks | 9/20/2006 | 1 | Anxiety | Constant headaches which intensified with the increase in prescribed dosage, confusion, lack of alertness, difficulty sleeping and severely increased production of stomach adid. | Although the Buspar did minimally take the edge off my severe anxiety disorder after a couple weeks of use, the only thing the increase of dosage produced were the frequency and the intensity of my headaches as well as an over all feeling of being weak, dizzy, confused and increased depression. The worst physical symptom was the increase of stomach acid produced. My stomach acid was in my mouth 24/7, leaving my whole mouth, lips and even my sinuses burned. After being off Buspar for 4 days I barely noticed the stomach acid and the headaches were and continue to be completely gone. Unfortunately, not knowing the Buspar was such a high contributing factor in the over production of satomach acid, I now am scheduled for an Endoscopy where a Gastroenterologist will view my esophagus and stomach to determine the extent of the damage caused by the over production of stomach acid. | F | 42 | 10 weeks | 1/8/2010 | 5 | anxiety | brains zaps for about 20 minutes after dosage in the beginning, light headed for a short while, headache for first week, no real side effects after 3 weeks | Excellent drug for my anxiety. I no longer ruminate obsessively over imagined conflicts. My mind has quieted down. My self esteem is back and I look forward to getting out of bed. Truly has enriched my life. Colors seem brighter. I smile and laugh again. | F | 59 | 9 weeks 20 2X day | 10/23/2012 | 4 | PTSD panic attacks social anxiety | Initially severely increased anxiety and panic attacks, headache,insomnia, some stomach upset however ALL subsided after a few weeks (took xanax 2.5 mg daily to deal with initial side effects) | I've recently been through several severely tramatizing events that led to the adult onset of panic attacks and social anxiety, I was completely disabilitated by the attacks, I could no longer drive or leave the house because I was physically shaking so badly. Initially I HATED this drug with a passion, however I vowed to myself that I would stick out the initial side effects and give it at least 2 months, if it didn't work by then I planned on stopping. My psychiatrist prescribed me buspar as well as xanax to cope with the accute attacks in the short term with the plan to wean off as soon as possible. I'm now up to 30 mg daily divided into 2 doses. I'm also slowly but successfully weaning off the xanax without feeling the need to depend on it anymore and am confident the horrible initial side effects of the buspar are gone. I'm now extremely happy with buspar and can now drive a standard again and no longer fear social situations. My advice to anyone taking this drug is PLEASE WAIT O | F | 26 | 9 weeks | 2/13/2009 | 3 | Anxiety, panic, | I have felt tingling in my fingers and head, just weird symptoms, | Buspar does help with overall anxiety, and panic.
