My dr is starting me on 2.5 mg twice a day for 2 days then up to 5 mg of buspar. Is it normal to experience headaches/slight feeling of being off balance and headaches? I really want this medication to work for GAD/overthinking. I can’t take xabax anymore :(
Buspar 5mg fluctuating heart rate and headaches?
