Positive experiences
“I’ve been taking the buspar these last couple days and it seems to handle my level of anxiety quite well.”
“We landed on buspirone. After just 2 weeks I felt a huge shift in my daily mood/anxiety. I started to relax and enjoy things again.”
“Not a supplement but buspar is known to reduce or eliminate bruxism. Personally I have had a huge reduction in my bruxism from it. I saw a good improvement on 10mg 2x a day but recently increased it to 15mg 3x a day.”
“Ive grown to like buspar, I have many OCD like mental tendencies that are significantly reduced”
“I also have bpd and I take buspar. It has no side effects and for me it started working almost immediately, it even helped with my appetite”
“Buspirone by far has been the most effective anxiety relief for me. It takes a little time to work like SSRIS or SNRIS but is a little faster...and no horrid side effects”
Negative and mixed experiences
“came back with Buspirone which is not an SSRI. It has its own issues, but I could sleep.”
“I've been on 5 mg twice a day for about a year. I can't really notice the effects on anxiety, but when I ran out...my anxiety was through the roof.”
“The only drugs that has helped at all so far have been Buspar and Remeron, both of which eventually stopped working for me.”
“My daily anxiety medication is 10 mg of busipirone hcl... Take too much and I get a dizzy headache”
“Great for anxiety and drive for me but I eventually needed to up my dosage and experienced side effects. It also raises prolactin pretty significantly”
“I tried buspirone that my mom was prescribed for her anxiety, but all it did was make me dizzy and give me increased anxiety”
