 5  Anxiety Weight gain (7 lbs) I began taking 15 mg of Buspar and had to increase to 20 mg per day after 1 year. Since have gained 7 pounds. Although I am very uncomfortable with the weight gain I am extremely satisfied with the normal life I'm able to have without the Anxiety. I did find myself sleeping better when splitting my Buspar dose twice a day with my last dose being no later than 2:30 pm daily. F 40 2.5 years

 1  Anxiety Weight gain of 20 lbs, insombia, numbness of fingers, diahrrhea, dizziness, disorientation, loss of memory, confusion, extreme muscle aches and fluid retention causing pressure on bone joints which resulted in terrible arthritic like pain symptoms. I would not recommend BuSpar to anyone. The symptoms sneaked up slowly and I did not relate them to the drug early on. F 68 10 weeks

 2  generalized anxiety Increased my anxiety, needed sleeping pills frequently, extreme fear and disorientation, worst thing I ever did. This medication CAN dramatically increase anxiety, my Dr. convinced me that if I stopped, anxiety would get even worse. After suffering for 6 months, I cautiously tapered the dose, each reduction was followed by a day or two of wiredness and then whaddayaknow, I felt better. Now on Zoloft, worked much faster and better although it is tough in the beginning weeks, don't be afraid to ask for a working medication. M 38 18 months

 4  Anxiety from Prozac dosage Headaches which went away after a couple of weeks, weight gain of a nagging 5 pounds. Usually after first taking it I feel pretty normal, but as the day wears on I can feel it slacking off-we adjusted the dosage to 60mgs but need to balance the dosages better. I have started to bruise extremely easy as well. Need to discuss if that is a side effect of any kind. As we have adjusted the dosages I have had more comfort in my daily living. Prior to taking this (and just the Prozac), I was emotionally housebound. The bruising concerns me, as I am hoping to not need to come off of it. There are times when I wish it would "kick in" with a little extra help. F 45 3 months

 4  anxiety My hands fall asleep in the middle of the night, and also feel numb at times, and I am beginning to wonder if it is related to this drug. this drug does completely alleviate my anxiety, so I am very reluctant to stop taking it. It makes me stop worrying about anything, but doesn't leave me "numb" to my experiences. I think it makes me feel 100% mentally "normal." F 40 5 years

 2  Anxiety Buspar relieved my anxiety, but at a high cost. I began suffering from depression one week after starting the Buspar, so my doctor added Imipramine (I've taken this before, with no side effects) to the mix. That seemed to reduce the depression. But then came the fatigue. I could hardly get out of bed in the morning. Within two years I went from being physically fit and healthy (other than some anxiety)to being forty pounds overweight with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I also developed gallbladder problems. I stopped the Buspar two months ago. I had a pretty bad anxiety backlash for about a month, then I returned to normal. The anxiety is gone, but now I have to deal with all the medical problems I developed because of the Buspar. F 44 2 years
