| 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 | 5 | Anxiety, Bipolar | Dry mouth,some sleep changes, weight loss, higher libido, more relaxed, more patient. | Like anything else, no medication is 100% perfect, sometimes the bipolar comes out, and anxiety creeps up,everyone has their limits. | F | 49 | 1 years 10 | 1/23/2016 | 5 | Anxiety, Bipolar | Dry mouth,some sleep changes, weight loss, higher libido, more relaxed, more patient. | Like anything else, no medication is 100% perfect, sometimes the bipolar comes out, and anxiety creeps up,everyone has their limits. | F | 49 | 1 years 10 | 1/23/2016 | 5 | Anxiety attacks | No side effects. Doctor started me on Lexapro which was horrible and I still had anxiety attacks. Buspar helped within 48 hours. Could not believe. Fantastic medication. And you do not feel like you are taking anything. | Fantastic drug. Immediately helped anxiety within 2 days. Felt like myself again | F | 30 days 5 mg 3X day | 1/13/2016 | 4 | 1 days | 1/10/2016 | 1 | GAD | I took this medicine for one day (2 doses) and woke up at night shaking uncontrollably so i stopped taking it. I have now been in the hospital for the last 4 days with racing heart rate, tingling on face hands and feet, nausua, blacking out. I really hope this is out of my system soon 😢 took exactly 7 days ago from today. | It is absolutely terrible | F | 29 | 1 days 7.5mg 2x a | 1/10/2016 | 3 | Anxiety and panic attacks | No side effects except slight nausea. | I have only been on medicine for about a week. Not sure if it is working so far?? Today I have been crying some. I will give it more time before I make a decision to stop. After reading all the reviews , I am nervous that it will not work for me either. I have been on several medicines , some have worked but always made me gain weight. I will stop this one immediately if I gain any weight !!! I am only 4 11" and can't afford any weight gain. | F | 41 | 6 days 30mg | 1/3/2016 | 3 | Anxiety | Dizziness, headache, insomnia, emotional numbness, increased anxiety. Most side effects gone after a few weeks with the exception of the emotional numbness. | Helped my mental anxiety slightly, but did not help my physical anxiety at all. Felt my physical anxiety was worse on buspar rather than off. | M | 32 | 60 days 10 mg 2X day | 12/30/2015 | 2 | Panic Disorder, GAD | HORRIBLE nausea, constipation, dizziness, pins and needles, makes anti-depressant withdrawals 10x worse | Helps BRIEFLY, for maybe 1 hour. But I can't eat anything without feeling sick, and even without eating I feel sick. I have a phobia of vomit too, so it's not helping my anxiety in that aspect at all. It's testing the limits of my Zofran. I've lost 6 pounds and I'm now underweight. Within the first 30 mins of taking it I often get dizzy spells and pins and needles that last 1-3 hours. It's bad because I can't really function in this state. It was worse when I was going through antidepressant withdrawals. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ANTI-DEPRESSANT WITHDRAWALS!!! The symptoms of withdrawals are the same as the side effects of buspar so you will be miserable. I went up to 15mg twice a day briefly and the side effects just got worse. The first time I was on it I was on 10mg with Lexapro and I didn't feel anything except dizziness. Not a good medication. I wish my doctor would put me on Ativan. | F | 20 | 2 weeks 15 mg 1X day | 12/27/2015 | 5 | panic | F | 40 | 8 months 15 2X day | 12/21/2015 | 4 | Generalized Anxiety Disorder | Headaches, dizzyness | I have been on 4 meds before this. None have worked this well. The side effects stink, but I take it at night so I fall asleep and don't experience them as bad or often. | F | 16 | 3 weeks 15 | 12/4/2015 | 2 | anxiety | I have had heart palpitations feeling anxious and irritable but because of some of the post that I've seen on here that I need to give it longer | I would really like to see the people put the manufacturer on here mine is Mylan.I had took buspar before for one week and couldn't even tell that I was taking anything it was a different manufacturer I can't remember the name but this one I could tell the same day big difference between the two manufacturers so I might try to call pharmacy to find out manufacture of the one I took before to see if that help if I took it for about a monththere's a lot of difference in the manufacture | F | 9 days 5 milligra | 12/3/2015 | 3 | anxiety | Slight headaches nausea | F | 60 | 5 weeks 30mg | 11/21/2015 |
