Hi, rosa!
I'm happy the BuSpar is working so well for you but the cramps are another matter. It's a fairly uncommon side effect but it has been reported by some users.
Is your doctor aware that you're having this problem? You might want to discuss some options with them such as using a magnesium supplement which helps in many cases. There are also other supplements and vitamins that could be effective.
