User Reviews for buspirone oral

I have went through and read the reviews about this particular drug, and would like to agree with many that have to do with side effects. I have only taken this drug for 3 days and already I am experiencing terrible side effects, such as the "shock" waves, cant sleep, nausea, and overall fatigue. I would not recommend this medication to anyone. Its terribe.

I have been on busp. for 3 yrs. and am overall happy, I noticed my natural stutter had gotten considerably worse while on this, It has helped my panic attacks and anxiety and mania episodes. I started off with 7.5mg twice a day and after awhile I went to 15mg twice a day. I missed my meds for one week because of mail in scripts didn't come. I went crazy and had one long mania episode, only slept 3-5 hrs per night, I was ready to fight at the drop of a hat, and was snapping at everybody, but my stuttering got better? I am also taking Lexapro for depresion anybody know where im coming from? I wonder if this slows down my thoughts so I think about talking too much and can't get it out maybe?Read More Read Less

I have really bad panic attacks, go to the ER sometimes. My dr. put me on it today. I only take it as I need it. The tabs are 10mg. I take 1/2 to 1 tablet as needed four times a day. I'm bipolar and OCD also... so it helps with the manic states and the OCD too. So far so good!

WELL.IT HAS MADE MORE RELAXED,NOT SO ANXIOUS,SLEEP BETTER AND I CAN LAUGH AGAAIN.

This medication immediately improved my systoms. I have the same problems but since I been taken Buspirone I have beeb dealing with my problems and stress without the anxiety.

I've been on this medication for over 10 years & although I have increased the dose, for effectiveness, it works well with no other known side effects. It's inexpensive & I feel that it is a wonderful drug to help me with anxiety or panic attacks

I use this to treat anxiety, without it I have memory problems, as long as I am taking it it does help alot to keep my mind thinking clear.

I actually just took my first 1/2 15mg pill today and i will be working my way up to 30mg a day. I am really nervous after reading all the comments about the side effects, but hey maybe thats my anxiety kicking in. Any helpful advice about maybe wether to take it with food or without, i have a fear of always being sick and I am only 19 and trying function on a daily basis without severe anxiety attacks.

this medication has helped my anxiety SOME. If you feel something "strange" in your head, CALL YOUR DR ASAP! Something is WRONG!

Worked great at first, changed my additude. More outgoing, could think clearer. But now the effects may be wearing off. Still very helpfull thought.

I have only been on this for a few days, but so far I have seen improvements with my anxiety. The only thing is that in the morning when I take it for the first hour or so I get a little lightheaded off and on. But then I am fine. So far so good.

I had become so anxious and nervous that I had chewed the inside of my mouth and tongue, and was grinding my teeth , I have been on this medication for two weeks, and all of the above has stopped....

i just started the meds 2 days ago i take 1/2 of a 15 mil. tab. 1 in morning 1 at nite i noticed that after i take it about 1/2 hr later it feels like electric shocks in my brain that last only a second but continue for a 1 hour then no problem after that has this happened to anyone else its kinda scary cuz i dont really like drugs that mess with ur brain i just hope its not someting thats gona get worse its to early to tell if its gona work so i got to wait it out but i dont nom if i want to keep takeing it can someone help me and let me no if they had the same problem Read More Read Less

It works for me but I don't take it everyday only when I feel I need it

side effects are the reason I left this medication

Since taking it I feel I can actually function once again in life.

I have been taking this medication on and off for about 2 years. I was constantly thinking and worrying that even my cheast would hurt! i felt like screaming at the top of my lungs, i was crying (not depression just frusterated) and bad headaches and would make up stories in my head"what if this happens" kind of thinking. It was horrible! It was effecting my family and my work.After 2 weeks on the meds I feel 80% better. about 15 min after taking the meds I get sleepy. Sometimes it gives me a headache but for the most part I am very satisfied! Read More Read Less

I took Buspirone 5 years ago for anxiety attacks. I just recently went back on it for similar reasons. The side effects are bad when I take a whole 10mg pill. I break the pills in half and take 5mg 6 times a day to lesson the side effects. It seems to work well doing this way. I don’t think this is a drug that you can feel working right away. It takes 2 to 3 weeks before you really notice a difference. For me, I didn’t feel like it was working until one day I just realized that my stress level went down so it must be working. I think you really need to wait it out for this drug to kick in. However this time around I seem to be having memory problems, forgetfulness, making mistakes I would normally never make. Not sure if this is a normal side effect that will wear off. Overall it’s a good drug.Read More Read Less

I had been taking this drug with effexor. I gained so much weight that I wanted to try something else. My doctor recently put me on cymbalta along with the buspar. I don't know if it's helping me as much as the effexor did. I have only been on it for a week,I want to give it a chance. Does anyone else out there take their buspir with anything else??
