Not sure if this thread is still active but I was put on this med and after a few weeks began to get tremors in my arms and shoulders. I stopped and a week later the tremors persist. I can’t say exactly that it is Buspro because the tremors have come and gone since they started me on SSRI meds which I didn’t do well on. I am terrified this is something more serious.
Anyone else experiencing this.
You need to call your prescriber or pharmacist and make sure you are not experiencing anaphylaxsis or another type of allergic reaction to this medication.
Of course, any medication could have potential allergic effects. And they can occur whether you first begin the medication, a shorttime into therapy, or if have been on for sometime at a therapeutic level.
I never got those symptoms.
Hello, I have never experienced any of those symptoms from taking Buspirone. I have been taking Buspirone for nearly two decades. I will say the symptoms you listed are some of the symptoms I experience when I have heightened anxiety. I especially get shaky and feel I am short of breath, but I’m usually over breathing. We are all different, but I hope this helps. Good luck to you!
