| 2 | Anxiety | mood swings, irritability, suicidal thoughts, depression, insomnia, headaches, severe dizziness 1 to 1.5 hours after taking... | I posted the rating that's 2 down. I had to get off of Buspar because of the crappy side effects. I just couldn't handle it anymore. I woke up one morning with severe depression and suicidal thoughts. I immediately went to the doctor. I wish Buspar would have worked for me, but oh well...on to the next one. My doctor prescribed me Vistaril. So far, it is actually working GREAT! It makes me a little sleepy, but nothing that I can't handle. I've had NO anxiety since I've been on it. Yay! | F | 24 | 2 weeks 15 2X day | 7/5/2010 | 2 | Anxiety and depression | Headache, vertigo, heart palpatations. | Never again. It did no good whatsoever. In fact, I may have felt more anxious. | M | 35 | 2 weeks | 5/31/2001 | 2 | anxiety depersonalization | extreme insomnia, weird thoughts(while trying to sleep), nervousness. | i took this med for only 2 weeks but decided to stop because of the insomnia. i tried to let my body/mind adjust but i just cant take it any longer stopping as of today. It works well i hear if you can get past the first few weeks. just didnt work for me, i will be trying prozac next. | M | 29 | 2 weeks | 12/28/2008 | 1 | Anxiety | dizzy all the time | It didn't work so I stopped taking it after 2 weeks | F | 28 | 2 weeks | 4/14/2008 | 1 | anxiety, panic attacks | increased anxiety and panic attacks, depresssion, not able to focus, loss any sense of time, and I think a blackout. Easily distracted, often forgetful. makes me feel like I have the flu. dr. is insisting that I stay on it, that the short term side effects are worth the long term results. Dr. is not the one experiencing this though! | do not give this medicine to an individual who is experiencing anxiety or a panic attack, cause it will not work. give them a xanax! If you give them BusPar, let them know the attack MAY end in 4 weeks, suffer until then. | F | 36 | 2 weeks | 5/31/2007 | 1 | anxiety | Severe loss of muscle coordination. | My handwriting looked like that of a first grader while using buspar. I looked like I was in the final stages of Parkinson's disease when walking down a flight of stairs (for whatever reason walking upstairs did not have the same effect). I only used Buspar for about 2 weeks. During this time my anxiety level only worsened. | M | 37 | 2 weeks | 11/9/2007 | 1 | Panic/social phobia/depression | Tingling/numbness/parethesia in my feet. | I had to stop taking it because the side effects were (and still are) driving me crazy. I've been off it completely for 3 days now, and I've only had minimal feeling return to my feet. It's causing me difficulty walking and moving my toes. Can't wait to get this stuff out of my system. | F | 36 | 2 weeks | 7/25/2006 | 1 | Anxiety / Panic Attack | A feeling of electric shock in my brain, especially when looking to the side. | The stuff just doesn't work. Doc switched me to a benzodiazepine (Xanax) and my life has been normal for years. | M | 36 | 2 weeks | 4/12/2004 | 1 | Anxiety | Sleep was very poor or non-existant | M | 44 | 2 weeks ? 1X day | 3/10/2011 | 1 | panic attacks | i began taking buspar a couple of weeks ago because i was having extreme panic attacks after my brother committed suicide. at first, it felt as though it was having a therapeutic effect--i could drive, eat, sleep, and essentially relax. i began tapering down the dose a few days ago, and then on friday i decided i wanted to stop taking it altogether. BAD IDEA. initially the drug gave me a few unpleasant side effects--blurred vision, shakiness, headache. but this was completely different. i had the worst panic attack of my life with hallucinations, palpitations, brain zaps, uncontrollable shivering, inability to sit still, chest pain, inability to communicate, feeling of unreality--i felt as though i was going crazy. i was up all night, and the only way i was able to get some of this to subside was to take a half a pill. they say this crap is supposed to be non-addictive...my ass. the withdrawal effects for me were worse than the side effects! so now i am trying to wean myself | this drug induces panic attacks, not cure them. | F | 28 | 2 weeks 7.5mg 2X day | 3/27/2011 | 1 | Generalized anxiety disorder | Severe anxiety, dizziness (when dosage wore off), irratibilty, hunger, insomnia, increased amount of obsessive unpleasant thoughts, and worsened mood. | I'm really sad that this medication didn't work out. I've heard such great things about it too. | F | 23 | 2 weeks 7.5mg | 12/15/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | I broke out in a rash stomach painfully my throat and chest burning sensation felt crippled I stopped it and waiting for this to get out of my system | I had to use an epi pen and still feel horrible | F | 63 | 2 weeks 10 | 4/4/2017 | 1 | Anxiety | At first didn't notice anything but I'm on my 2nd week and I am starving and have gained 10 lbs idk if it water weight but I'm calling my Doctor to switch.. | F | 31 | 2 weeks 7.5 | 3/26/2017 | 1 | Aniexty | Terrible side effects - dizziness, lightheaded, ringing in the ears, indigestion, forgetfulness (even down to what day it was) and majorly disputed my sleep pattern. Made me feel happier though. Definitely not recommended to anyone who suffers from any balance/inner ear problems as it magnifies ur symptoms :( | 35 | 2 weeks 10mg | 1/29/2014 | 1 | Anxiety | Chest pain, muscle spasms (eyelids , fore arms calfs, chest) dizziness, increased anxiety, tight weak muscles, loss of balance, | M | 31 | 2 weeks 10mg 2x/da | 12/25/2013 | 1 | anxiety | numbness all over my body, dizzyness,cold sweats, lightheaded, ADD, sleeplessness, can't concentrate on anything, loss of sex drive (do to numbness and sleeplessness) | M | 35 | 2 weeks | 9/27/2009 | 4 | anxiety | headaches, slight dizziness | Headaches ceased after first week. Hoping dizziness will also. Sleeping much better at night. Tried Zoloft but too many side effects. So far it is working and not even in my system good yet. Taking 15 mg. daily, (5 mg. 3 X daily). I recommend you try Buspar for your anxiety. An inexpensive medication also. | F | 50 | 1.5 weeks | 9/12/2004 | 5 | anxiety | Dizziness....brain fog | F | 60 | 1 weeks 10mg | 12/29/2014 | 4 | Anxiety | Dry mouth, metal taste | Seems to be doing the job . | M | 58 | 1 weeks 15 | 6/7/2015 | 4 | anxiety and deppresion | only first nite hour of nausia | it seems to so far give me social energy as well as working out side more.so far I'm very satisfied | F | 39 | 1 weeks 15mg x3 | 11/26/2016 |
