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 have just started to use this drug for my skin sohriouss, (UCLA has proved that skin sohrioss is caused from nerves or anxiety, besides other reasons, and valium would be a cure for some. But i cant take any narco's for iam on a methadone program for herion fun & enjoyment (that is if your rich) that will put you on a 21 day detox (ouch)! But BUSPIRONE is not a narcotic and will not show up in my monthly UA. I have noticed some skin sohriociss is clearing up, so maybe this stuff will work.

I noticed a drastic improvement within the first day. Prior to starting this medication I was having daily episodes of being extremely anxious, could not sit still, could not concentrate. I can now focus more on what I am doing and little things do not seem to affect me like they did before taking this medication. I am much calmer and more relaxed, happier and enjoying life again.

Has dramatically changed sleep experience after only three days of half dosage. I am looking forward to being anxiety free in the near future. Went to Buspirone after a difficult experience getting started with another medication.

I've been taking BuSpar for Generalized Anxiety along with Prozac for a few years and it changed my life for the better, much happier, outgoing, less anxious.

I've been on this for only two days, but I seem calmer. The big thing is, I have lower abdominal cramps. This seems to have started right away, and doesnt let up. I will report this to my doctor tomorrow. Also have some drowsiness; but it's mainly the stomach craps that are bothersome.

My doctor and I decided my issues were really related to anxiety and stress rather than depression. Since starting on buspirone I have uncontrollable crying spells, my heart races, my hands are tingly a lot of the time, I have increased insomnia, and in general I feel more anxious than ever. I will be stopping this medication ASAP and requesting something else.
