 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.

 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

 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

 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

Patient History
 1  Anxiety Bloating, stomach pain, paranoia and agoraphobia. Dizzyness, disorientation, light sensitivity. Nausea before and after meals. I started on five mg twice a day. I had some side effects but the only one that bothered me was shaking and nervousness as each dose wore off. Once I increased to ten mg the shaking stopped but I became increasingly paranoid and my stomach started to react to everything I ate. I went back and forth between diahrea and constipation, sometimes in the same day. The bloating and acid reflux were the worst. It made me look like I was pregnant. All in all it does not work for me. I have historically had bad reactions to medications like this and so I was really hoping this would work for me. But it doesn't. I am stepping down on my own before my check up appointment because it is effecting my ability to do my job. I also am a very physically active person and I haven't been able to run for three weeks because my discomfort is so great. I expect based on other reviews that it will take about a month to really reverse all of my symptoms while I step down gradually as is recommended. Note, I do not recommend stepping down on your own, unless you know how to do so safely, and seeing a doctor as soon as possible once you choose to do so is highly recommended. F 27 4 weeks

 4  panic attacks, general anxiety It took a few days to get used to. I felt a little lightheaded/nervous for maybe 4 or 5 days. I recently started having some dry mouth. Least amount of symptoms I've had for an anxiety drug. I've always had anxiety, and I've taken medication in the past, however, I hadn't been on medication for 4 or 5 years because I had my anxiety under control, until a few months ago. I started developing panic attacks and my anxiety in general got worse. Buspar has helped a lot after just 3 weeks. I no longer get shaky or irregular heart palpitations during the day. I'm feeling more positive overall. Good first impression. F 30 3 weeks

 1  Anxiety Severe nausea, depersonalization, dizziness, irritability, tingling, hungover feeling, drunk feeling immediately This medicine was awful for my body. Was have diarrhea 3 times a day. Feeling of not being in my body. Became very depressed. Super irritable. Made anxiety worse. And after I stopped taking it, the side affects lingered on for a week . And I just felt hung over the whole time and couldn't think straight. My conversations were hard to focus on and it seemed like I was on drugs. F 25 4 days

 2  Anxiety Increased anxiety symptoms, irritability, hunger, depression, soreness, dramatic weight gain The first week of meds took the edge off, I thought it was going to work for me. The second week I became sore and more irritable. By the third week I was having a meltdown daily and many more anxiety episodes. I wouldn't get out of bed unless it was for work and I would cry at the thought of leaving the house to go anywhere. I went to the doctor for a three week check up to see how my meds were doing, and I had gained 11 pounds in those three weeks. The doctor has switched me to Zoloft now and it seems to be helping... I know buspar is great for some people, and I was really hoping it would work for me considering it's one of the only anti anxiety medications that won't change your personality, but unfortunately my experience with it was far from successful. F 20 3 weeks
