I've been on buspirone for years and it works for me! My doctor said that the combination of buspirone and an antidepressant make both work twice as well. I haven't had any issues with anxiety since I've been on it. I'm prescribed Xanax to take as needed for panic attacks but I haven't needed to take it yet!

I posted a similar question today. I have been taking this for 3 days now, and feeling pretty awful. I was told that my body needs time to adjust,and that it will work. I have been having bad anxiety off and on since 2005, and i am at the point where nothing seems to be working for me anymore. I am so scared and hoping it will help me, and hope it will help you too.

Hi, I just started taking Buspirone about 5 days ago(5mg 2x/day). I've noticed that I am feeling better. However, when I take the second dose at night, I sleep for about 3 hours then I wake up and it is hard to go back to sleep which makes me tired and fatigue the next day. Did you experience this? I am happy that Buspirone is working for you.
