 3  anxiety panic attack I was diagnosed with GAD I started taking celexa which made me feel worst but now my doctor prescribe me bursprione ive been on it for 6 days and I still get anxiety pretty bad. I dont know if thats because the medication hasn't build up yet in my system yet because it take 3 to 4 weeks for you to get the full benefits from the medication.but I notice yesterday day 5 I started to feel depressed and today too. Also im experiencing headaches that really hurt andfoggy and very dizzy like ima pass out is this all normal because im still at the beginning stage with this medication. I read alot of people dont give this medication the fullllength because it take a while to kick in.. has anyone else experience this but got better after the 3 or 4 week etc? F 25 6 days

 5  Anxiety Maybe a little nervousness at first but I titrated slowly I am an extreme sufferer of anxiety. The kind that comes across in neurotic behaviors, irritability, and mild OCD behaviors. Let's put it this way... You would just think I am very hyper and silly upon meeting me. On the inside I am experiencing very uncomfortable anxiety that I have learned to accept as my truth and my fate. I have taken many other medications... Effexor, Prozac, celexa, Wellbutrin, Ativan, nuerontin, topamax, trazadone, halcyon, desipramine,...over a period of 20 years. This is the first medication that I've taken that has calmed... Eliminated my anxiety, without doping me to sleep. I have read ratings and opinions on this website for years and have used this forum as a deciding factor on whether or not to try a medication. All I can say is that I am experiencing a side of myself I never new possible. I take on tasks without the urgency to finish and move on to the next thing ASAP. I almost feel like I am able to experience the present moment just a little bit. I've lived my life in the future and the past and I feel as though I may be able to slow down enough to stop and smell..... Really smell the roses... F 41 30 days

 1  Anxiety first month: horrible stomach pain and chest pains increased anxiety second month: chest pains increased anxiety and dizziness third month: lump in throat sensation headaches vertigo fourth month: lump in throat sensation headaches chest pain fifth month: lump in throat sensation chest pains I weaned myself off of this. Maybe the side effects I experienced were unique to me, but I lost 5 months of my life and this made everything worst. My anxiety increased ten fold and I had horrible pain in my body everyday. The lump in throat,chest pains, headaches and vertigo were HORRIBLE. I hope the pain goes away once I am off of it for good. F 28 5 months

 5  Anxiety minor dizziness after taking, occasional muscle twitches, increased hunger after doses (minor weight gain). These side effects were extremely mild compared to the other medications I have tried. Looking back those first few weeks were pretty "scary", lots of tingling waves going through my body. I was in the midst of serious anxiety, could barely leave the house. I had tried Paxil, and the horrible "brain zaps" I got from those few weeks were hell. My doc was skeptical Buspar would even work for me, and he prescribed Xanax .50 with it as he did with the Paxil, but unlike with the Paxil, I rarely had to augment the Buspar with Xanax. In the 13+ years I've been on Buspar, I've been prescribed Celexa, Lexapro, and Xanax. Buspar without a doubt has been the most tolerable and pleasant. It keeps me "right in the middle", not too up or down, not too anxious or angry. I haven't tried to stop taking it, and my doc says it's an "orphan drug" so they will never improve it. It supposedly isn't meant to be taken long term, and I've read "articles" where some people actually think it is a placebo. I can tell you it saved my life, it very gradually dulled the sharp edges of anxiety that were ruining my life. Please give this one time, a month or longer is right, less than a few weeks is not. It's a "slow burner" Also, last year I started talking to a therapist twice a month, and in my newfound wisdom, I recognize I should've started doing that too 13 years ago. It's never too late, never ever ever give up. You only understand anxiety/panic if you have experienced it. It also helps that it is generic and very M 38 13 years

 5  anxiety depression panic attacks/se Contains anxiety. Stops panic attacks, non epileptic seizures and lifts mood. Wake up feeling positive. Sleep well but with vivid dreams. Have gained 2 stone rapidly but benefits to how i feel are more important to me than weight. I also feel in due course I can tackle weight gain. Also take 200mg sertraline. Give buspar a go. It is a slow burner but if it works for you it really works! F 44 6 months

 4  Anxiety, irritability and anger So far I am pretty satisfied with buspar. The first few times I took it I did experience intense excitement along with drowsiness. Sometimes shortly after I take a pill I do notice a fuzzy feeling in my head, but the longer I've been on it the less intense it is. I have noticed a slight change in my mood so far. Although I still get irritated at small things, it feels like there's a wall there now that prevents me from exploding into a rage. I like the fact it doesn't make me feel weird or emotionless. I feel normal, no problems with sleep or any other side effects. F 26 6 days

 4  Anxiety/Depression Makes it harder to focus & comprehend things that I read. A tad more forgetful. Seem to crave alcohol more, which is weird. Libido increased a bit. In the beginning, it really made me less angry and more joyful. It also makes me more social and more talkative, which is a good thing. M 41 3 months

 1  Generalized Anxiety Disorder I was given Buspar to add to Lexapro -150 mg. I experienced accelerated heart rate, sweating, nausea, diarrhea. The worst of it was seeing strange images, tryi mg to touch what I thought was there, and hearing repetitive voices/singing. I was so shaken I discontinued it. Has anyone else experienced this? How long will that dose be affective. I know I'm Not Crazy....... F 66 1 days
