User Reviews for Buspirone

Of the many antidepressants, anti-convulsants and other meds. the doctors gave me through out the years for nerve damage to my head area this worked the best but at 5mg in the evening once a day. Less dizziness and drowsiness to function throughout the day without feeling like a zombie and still controlling my anxiety attacks.

Given this medication for anxiety. Did not work for me. It made me very sick, regurgitated & could not even keep the pill down. Gave me this shock feeling in my head like 2-4 times a day, that followed by a headache. My limbs jump and twitch a lot. I was very angry and irritated with life, which made me hate this drug even more. I also had ringing in my ears, that I absolutely did not enjoy.

Suffered all my life with anxiety and depression. This drug, combined with venlafaxine, has changed my life. Never felt so good. Just increased to 3 a day (15mg) from two. Experiencing drowsiness, but sure that will go away.

My doctor wants me to take it as needed but it just doesn't work like that.

This has been the drug that changed my life. I have suffered from general anxiety my whole life but have only been treated for severe depression. I asked my doctor if he could give me something for anxiety that I could take every day and not be sleepy or groggy like I do with Xanax or Valium. He gave me some samples of this of 10mg and a week later my whole world looked and felt differently. That was 6 months ago and I'm now taking 20 mg daily and I feel wonderful. I take this in addition to 150mg daily of Wellbutrinxl. I never get sleepy from it or jittery and my anxiety is at about a 4 every day now. Where it used to be at an 8 every day. Love this drug. Every year my doctor said we would go up by 10 mg until I get to a maintenance of 40mg daily.Read More Read Less

This medicine really messed me up. I didn't have anxiety to an extreme until a month after taking this. It made me have anxiety attacks really bad. It made me feel like I was crazy. It made me very paranoid. I felt like I had no control over myself. Would never take again or recommend it.

In felt more anxiety and nervous when I started taking this medication. Problems were harder to handle. I stopped the medication because it scared me. My doctor did not tell me my symptoms may get worse before they get better.

good
