| 1 | Anxiety | Severe dizziness that was so bad I couldn't drive anywhere, insomnia, dry mouth, and upset stomach. Had to stop after one week because side effects were too bad. | F | 45 | 1 weeks 10 2X day | 8/30/2016 | 4 | Anxiety | I can't say yet it's to soon. Started taking it for extreme anxiety that I have suffered with for over 40 years. My heart was shaking or palpitating before I started but so far it's still shaky. Hoping this med will help. I had headaches before starting also. Going to try some Botox for that tomorrow. To much is blamed on this med especially if taken with others as these docs perscribe. Dosages way to high to start with too. They over perscribe meds especially anti depressants. | F | 74 | 4 days 5 1X day | 8/24/2016 | 4 | Anxiety | This drug gives me daily diarrhea & does seem to cause fatigue throughout the day. | I'm currently taking 5 mg every couple hours, but the doctor is trying to spread that out for more effectiveness. It does help control the anxiety. | F | 44 | 4 months 45 | 8/23/2016 | 5 | Anxiety | Insomnia | Life saver | F | 34 | 7 days 5mg 3TD | 8/20/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | Took 71/2 mgs for years dr upped it to 30 mg.insomnia 3 days. Sweating. Tight neck aching shoulders terrible anxiety heart pounding tingling.in hand . My guess is he upped it too fast. Decreased it to 5 mg in the morning. I feel the dr wasn't thinking when he upped it so fast . Was on the higher dose one week at the higher dose then all these symptoms started happening ... | Feel better with the lower dose as it leaves your system fadt | F | 59 | 10 days 30 | 8/4/2016 | 3 | Anxiety and withdrawal from ativan | Slight dizziness, mild sleepiness, mild headache. But no more obsessive thoughts. I was obsessing about obsessing! | I would very much appreciate it if reviews include your dosage. Thanks. | F | 60 | 2 days 12mg | 8/1/2016 | 2 | Anxiety, PTSD | Yellow watery diarrhea, undigested food in stool, nausea, increased weight gain, loss of appetite, increased hunger, malnutrition, edema legs arms back shoulders, stiff tight muscles, fatigue, vision loss / degradation of visual focus acuity, mild dizziness. | Now, I know some of you will read my side effects and say, "Wow, what an idiot! Why didn't she stop taking the meds!??" Because onset was slow, and vaguely noticeable until I ran out of metamucil. Heh? See? Yep, missed the early signs until it was too late. 2 weeks after stopping buspar, am on blood pressure meds to induce excretion of liquid buildup/edema in muscles. I can move again and have energy. My anxiety is a little worse, but frankly I would rather be tightly wound and cognizant, than fatigued and apathetic. May work for some, not for me. Will be sticking to Wellbutrin until my current psych prescribes me something more effective. | F | 26 | 5 months 10mg 2/d | 7/23/2016 | 1 | Anxiety/Panic add on to SSRI | Dry throat, ringing in ears, severe neck stiffness like your head feels like a bowling ball, headaches brain zaps, teeth clenching | I have been on benzos before and this was an add on to 25mg Zoloft and to .5 klonopin. As soon as I went down to 5mg the headaches eased up,I can still crack my neck daily, i am only one week off of 2.5mg and am having withdrawals, heart palps and diarrhea. I came looking for others in my situation. For me it was merely a pill I was taking that gave side effects. Now to push through it leaving. | F | 43 | 8 months 10mg | 7/7/2016 | 5 | Anxiety/Panic Disorder | No side effects | Never did I imagine that Buspar would work so well. I have tried many things for my panic attacks, which was a daily battle. Buspar was added partly to boost the lexpro I had been on for a few years and partly the hope of relieving panic/worry. It made such an incredible difference I was really in shock. Everything I read made is seem like it wouldn't do much. But for me it was a miracle. | F | 45 | 1 years 10 mg 2X day | 7/6/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | Felt like everything drain from body,shaking, rapid heart rate and slow down, rise again. | M | 43 | 1 days 10 mg | 6/14/2016 | 2 | Major Anxiety Disorder and Depressi | Dizziness that wont go away, Ringing in my ears feeling I am going to pass out when I move. I am Paranoid. Never had that before. | I have been on this medication for 2 weeks now I feel as tho I am withdrawing from what I was taking for 10 years "Clonazepam". I am dizzy light headed I hear a fuzzy noise in my ears that jerks when I blink or move .I keep going from one room to the next. I have had a slight reduction of anxiety but the side effects are worse than having the anxiety. Some people seam to have a good response to this drug. I am not one of those people. | M | 60 | 2 weeks 10MG 2X day | 5/31/2016 | 4 | Anxiety | Slight dizziness after taking the pill about 20 minutes and insomnia hope that it goes away but my anxiety is gone so I would recommend this pill | F | 46 | 1 months 15 mg | 5/23/2016 | 3 | ptsd and depression | Dizzyness at first. Later electical feelings in arms when breathing out. Stiff and painful leg and butt symptoms. Fast heart rate after first taking in the morning. The medication helped with anxious thoughts right away. Some help with depression. If i miss a dose. I feel very depressed though. It is great to not be contantly nervous. But i hate the other symptoms. | F | 55 | 1 months .25 mg | 5/11/2016 | 5 | PTSD (combat), GAD, depression | No side effects. I thought how I felt was some type of placebo effect but that is not the case. I am so unbelievably grateful for this medicine. | M | 44 | 3 days 30mg | 5/10/2016 | 1 | Gad | Does not. Work | F | 53 | 9 days 30 | 5/4/2016 | 3 | Psych added to the mix for depression | Not 100% sure if it is the buspar but after I take it in the morning and with dinner, I play this droning music in my head and I get the hot flash as well. | F | 65 | 8 months 10mg x2 | 5/1/2016 | 2 | Anxiety | I was taking Buspar for anxiety. My anxiety is cause by bipolar disorder. I had bad reaction to it. I an adverse reaction to it. I was pacing back and forth for no reason. I was extremely emotional. I started to go into hypomania. This medicine does help allot people. But if you have bipolar disorder. It may trigger manic episodes. Please keep in touch with your doctor while taking it? It doesn't have adverse affects to all bipolar disorder. But in some cases it does. I know the feeling I had was horrible. | F | 33 | 2 months 30mg a day | 4/23/2016 | 1 | GAD / Depression | Increased anxiety, extreme restlessness, rapid heartbeat, insomnia, head/body tingles, flu like symptoms, chills | I hate it. Be warned this stuff isn't as innocuous as doctors make it out to be. And you absolutely CAN have withdrawal symptoms, so watch out for that. | F | 27 | 3 days 10 Mg | 4/20/2016 | 1 | Anxiety from synthyroid medication | Have been chomping my teeth stopped day 2 days ago and still doing it. I was not sleeping but couple hours a night, throat was swelling it was hard to swallow food and throat had gotten sore. | I am taking hydroxyzine 25mg there times a day. How long will these side effects last? | F | 54 | 10 days 5mg | 4/16/2016 | 4 | Extreme munchies and calming effect after 30 mintues of taking. Last maybe and hour. But I love this medicine. It's changed my life. I can actually enjoy it. I have extreme depression and anxiety. I have tried lots of other depression medicine. This one is the best. | F | 23 | 3 years | 4/6/2016 |
