| 5 | Anxiety/OCD | No negative side effects. Increased energy and libido. | I have been diagnosed with OCD for over 30 years. I have tried many medications. While Buspar isn't typically used for OCD it has been a God-send. I went from OCD hell to normality. While this may not be the experience for most people, Buspar has given me my life back. I've taken it for 3 years now and it has eliminated 90% of my symptoms and has little to no side effects. | M | 42 | 3 years 20 mg 2X day | 11/17/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | I stopped taking buspar after two doses because the dizziness was too intense I couldn't drive. Now 3 weeks after my last dose I am permanently dizzy and having chest pains. Have to see and E.N.T and possibly a neurologist. This drug ruined my life. | F | 33 | 2 days 7.5 2X day | 10/8/2022 | 1 | Morning | Did not help with anxiety and made me more anxious as well as just disconnected to the point at times I feel like I'm losing my mind. | M | 47 | 4 months 10mgx2 2X day | 10/1/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Muscle pain in legs and chest. Feel very stiff and sore. Ironically the chest pain makes the anxiety worse. | F | 50 | 60 days 5mg 1X day | 8/1/2022 | 1 | Generalized anxiety disorder | Increased anxiety, restlessness, panic attacks, headaches | Decided to take it due to my anxiety being severe. This medication made my anxiety worse than before. I'm currently going through a horrible spiral of anxiety thanks to this medication. Guess it doesn't work for everyone | F | 25 | 7 days 5mg 3X day | 6/14/2022 | 1 | functional dyspepsia | Made me feel like I was high and very aggressive when taking it. Also had increased anxiety and did not feel like myself while on it. Completely useless drug | F | 38 | 0 days 10 1X day | 5/29/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Fatigue, brain fog, nausea, weak in the knee feeling. The horrible feeling I get after taking this is in and of itself increasing my anxiety. | Had maybe one or two times for a few hours out of the 11 days taking this where I felt like it was working for my anxiety, but the overall sick feeling I get after taking it makes it not worth it for me. Going to stop taking it. | F | 66 | 11 days 2.5 mg 2X day | 4/29/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Feeling like I have the flu .weakness in my leg and my chest feeled funny | 61 | 3 months 15 3X day | 4/17/2022 | 1 | Help with my anxiety... | I am experiencing chills a lot, then it goes to hot flashes! It's worse than menopause ever was with me!!! My anxiety still hits me right out of the blue, anywhere, anytime! I do not drive or even leave my house unless I have to go to the Dr. I hate this feeling of being in prison in my own home because of depression and anxiety!!! I also have nausea, heartburn, extreme tiredness but my mind is still racing so therefore I can't sleep and I'm up most every night all night long... Now I nap during the day a couple of times and when I wake up I've slept almost 3-4 hours!!!! My joints especially my knees are so painful and stiff and sore that I cry sometimes! This is crazy! I also have hypothyroidism... And clinical depression.... I can't win...no matter what I do.... I also crave carbs and sweets like never before and I've gained a lot of weight which makes me feel even worse.... Nightmares are guaranteed when I do sleep!!! I hate it!!! | F | 64 | 90 days 0.5mg. 1X day | 4/2/2022 | 2 | Anxiety | Headache, slight dizziness and extreme itching. | First week-mostly good, perhaps a few episodes of blurry vision. Second week-same as first but a few bad headaches when I woke up. Third week-more headaches and itchiness begins. Hands, feet, legs, scalp, constant itching and when i would scratch for relief, the itchiness intensified. Kept me awake and was uncomfortable. Stopped Buspar. Perhaps I am allergic. | F | 50 | 22 days 5MG/3x 3X day | 4/1/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Extreme hunger 30 min after taking. Quit 3 days ago, waves of hunger and nausea, insomnia, flu like symptoms, terrible anxiety and restlessness | How long do withdrawal side effects last- awful! | F | 65 | 40 days 5 mg 2X day | 3/29/2022 | 1 | Anxiety | Anxiety has drastically improved, but since about 30 hrs after the first dose, I've had horrible heart palpitations. They are constant. All day and night. Waking in the night from them even. Doctor keeps telling me to say on it the side effects will go away, but I'm on week for of heart palpitations (or where my heat feels like it does a flip in my chest). Im going to taper off. Take 1/2 pill tonight. This drug isn't for me and it sucks because it was really working for my anxiety. | F | 38 | 26 days 10mg 2X day | 3/21/2022 | 4 | Anxiety | Dizziness for 5 or 10 minutes after I take it, headache first few days and when I've increased my dosage. When I went up to 20 mg/day, I became a little jittery (e.g., jiggling foot), but that could be caused by a lot of things, so maybe it's not be a symptom of the drug. | On 5 mg/day the fear that everyone I love is about to die went away. Today I started on 30 mg/day (10 mg taken 3x per day--breakfast, lunch, dinner), and I have increased energy in the evening, decreased anhedonia, and I'm less irritable. I'm pretty pleased; it's worth the side effects. | F | 42 | 7 months 30 mg 3X day | 3/18/2022 | 1 | Generalized Anxiety Disorder | Horrid panic attacks, insomnia, shakes, tremors, psychosis, hysteria, seizures, hypersensitivity to everything. Dissociation, couldn't eat, depression and anxiety worsened. Stopped taking it a week ago and I'm STILL having the worst panic attacks of my life. Currently using benzos to stop panic attacks and be able to sleep. About to start taking Remeron, hoping it works. | Do NOT take this stuff. It's poison. | F | 23 | 21 days 10 MG 1X day | 2/20/2022 | 5 | GAD | When I first started taking Buspar I had mild nausea (but nothing compared to what I used to get from my anxiety) and very mild dizziness. More of an "off" feeling than dizzy. It only lasted the first few days. After about a week I started to notice I felt calmer and a lot less anxious. I also feel more care free and happier. | I know there are a lot of negative reviews.. and I almost didn't take it after my doctor prescribed it but I'm glad I did. This drug has helped me a lot. Side effects are also gone. | F | 46 | 3 weeks 7.5 2X day | 2/6/2022 | 2 | GAD | Worsening of anxiety symptoms. Worsening of high blood pressure, but only minimal. | It was ineffective at 5mg x3, but after starting 10mg x3, it was doing the opposite of what was supposed to do.. worsening the GAD. Not for me, maybe it's for you. Always try for yourself, don't take conclusions by just reading reviews. | M | 40 | 2 months 10 3X day | 12/25/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | Restlessness, brain fog, nausea, flushed | F | 45 | 5 days 5mg 1X day | 12/17/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | I got extreme muscle pain and it's been 5 months I still haven't gotten better. | If anyone else has this please let me know | F | 34 | 4 days 10 1X day | 12/17/2021 | 4 | Anxiety | A little dizziness, occasional headache and tiredness | I think it works just fine. | M | 41 | 4 months 2X day | 12/7/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | Feeling hot, anxiety, waking up during the night, nervous feeling I am going off of this medication it's not for me | F | 69 | 19 days 5mg 1X day | 11/28/2021 |
