User Reviews for Buspirone

Noticed that the limited amount of side effects was a plus.

Is this drug buspirone like xanax??

I really cant tell a whole lot of difference when taking this medication

Ringing ears, inability to sleep,

Seems to have caused nausea while taking and following withdrawal. Is it the Buspirone or something else?

On Buspar for about 7-1/2 weeks at 15 mg/day (reduced from 20 mg/day due to excessive side effects). Side effects (most intermittent): brain "zap," extreme fatigue, jitters, tremors, muscle spasm, insomnia, brain fog. Anxiety has not decreased & feelings of worry & agitation seem to have worsened. Tapering off at this time & will try something new.

ringing in head

Small rashes and slight headaches in the last week.

only been on it a month. feeling crumby..more anxious than ever. taking 15mg.half of this twice a day

I have been drinking busperone for 4 years, I do start to hallucinate by seeing, believing,seeing, and hearing voices that arew untrue, unreal, and feeling extremely restless, shaky, confused, being disorganized with tasks, thinking, thoughts, and speech, experiencing of being unable of falling asleep fast,unusual thinking and bahaviors.

i have been on this medication for about a year. aside from the initial side effects like dizziness or feeling tingly and a slight headache, i feel great. abd the side effects are brief. like 10 min

I just got off of it and it me REALLY messed up... like forgetting, getting EXTREMELY tired about a half hour after taking, irritation, angry sometimes, more anxiety attacks... it was bad.... I tried to stick through it, but after 4 or 5 months on it, not successful and way too difficult to cope with!

I started about 4months ago.Four weeks ago, i was raised to 30mgs and it sucks!my anxiety is worse and i'm jittery.I can't stop worrying and i'm always nervious.I was better before with just my paxil&klonopin ALONE!

This worked well in the beginnig, but after a couple months it stopped being effective. The meds just aren't strong enough, I was up to 60-70mg daily. DR switched meds, thank god!

Started this med about two weeks ago and i hate it! Makes me dizzy and vomit plus very bad headaches and my mind won't stop racing.Anxiety is even WORSE NOW!!! Hope doctor will change or I am ready to give up!

I have GAD and depression. I was given Wellbutrin which was working well for the depression, but it made my anxiety worse. I was then prescribed BuSpar for the anxiety. The first couple of weeks my anxiety was even worse. I was dizzy and nauseous and actually considered switching medications. I had to take ativan as needed the first two weeks of starting BuSpar. Somewhere towards the end of the second week I noticed I was in a very good mood and there were no more anxiety attacks. I feel very calm now and I do not experience any side effects other than a mild dizziness for an hour after taking the medication. The only thing I don't like is that this does not come in a once-a-day extended release form. It's a bit of a pain to take it twice a day, but I am VERY satisfied with the results.

I've been taking buspirone for more than a year now. It is truly the best drug I've found to treat my depression & anxiety disorder. Previously, I was treated with SSRI medications and they never helped. The only draw back of buspirone is side effects: dizziness, nausea, sweating. However, I've found that the side effects are short lived and I am usually not bothered by them for more than 5 to 10 minutes.
