I have been taking this medication for almost 8 years for anxiety issues. It has been extremely helpful for me. Very recently I was experiencing a bit of anxiety for the first time in many years, so my dosage was increased from 7.5 mg 2X/day to 10 mg 2X/day. The increased dosage has eliminated the anxiety attacks. I see that a lot of people review this medication after only being on it for les...

I take this 3 times a day, which is why I give this 3 stars for ease of use. I have been gradually increasing my doseage in order to deal with the side effects, which include extreme tiredness, dizziness, and nausea. The first few days I could hardly stay awake. But after a few days, those side effects went away with my anxiety. This has really helped me think clearer and I no longer have anxiety attacks, racing heart beat, or tightness in my chest. I can focus!

This medication gave me giant hives and severe swelling around my lips and jawline. I've never had problems with hives before.

I started taking this 1 1/2 months ago... I have anxiety to the point, I would be having a conversation with some one and my face would turn beat RED, my palms sweaty, I couldn't hold a normal conversation, and I was just flat NERVOUS, & ANXIOUS. It was very uncomfortable, and embarrassing. I also take "Morphine 15mg" once a day for back pain.... and "Percoset 5/325" 3-4 times a day for breakthrough pain. When I took a higher dosage of both, my anxiety was minimal. Now that I am weening myself off, My anxiety has returned. I have never taken any medication for my anxiety before. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER TAKING THIS MEDICATION! I AM AMAZED AT THE DIFFERENCE!! I take 3 15mg a day, and I am very pleased. I also have high blood pressure because of my anxiety, and it has dropped since taking Buspirone. I highly recommend it! Read More Read Less

LOVE this medicine!! I have been on it for about a year. Works great for me. I was able to get off my other medicine that was very additive.

I have been on this drug since 2011. I am experiencing breakthrough anxiety at my job. I am prescribed 10mg 3 times a day. I have a very hard time going to sleep and staying asleep and this medication seems to make it worse.

Busbar has been very effective, I'm feeling better, less anxiety, and improved outlook.

Had continous anixety entire time I was on. headaches, nausea, dizzy and nervous within 40 mins after taking. Stopped taking. My anixety symptoms dropped dramatically. Just not right for me. Started meditation, yoga, gym, walking daily, reading in evening, cut out alcohol & caffiene and seeing psychologist once a week seem to help. Starting to wonder if busiprone was holding me back from break thru to recovery. Don't plan on taking ever again.
