I have been on Bu-spar (buspirone) now for three months.. It worked for a while and I was happy and laughing again and can drive my car.. My husband was having to drive me where ever I needed to go.. I was having Anxiety and panic attacks like crazy.. This has never happen to me before.. I was awake most of the night tingling and my skin was cold, but hot on the inside that lasted two hours.. My heart was pounding and it was like there was a committee of thoughts in my head. My husband took me to the ER three times and they found nothing wrong thank God.. Since being on buspirone I've had fewer attacks.. I have read many positive reviews on Celexa and it works for Anxiety and panic attacks and how they wished they knew about this pill along time ago.. I was wondering if I should talk to my Dr. about switching me to Celexa or should I continue with buspirone? Thank you and God bless!
Does celexa work better than buspirone for Anxiety and panic attacks?

I have been on celexa for 3 years and i love it no anxiety at all i stay in a good mood
Hi I was taking celexa for 7 years and I thought it was fabulous, no side effects for me, maybe just a little weight. The panic attacks completely went away and I have been feeling very good for a long time. Unfortunatley I was diagnosed with TN and have now come off of the celexa as the meds for my TN didn't work well with it.
Give it a go, if it works great if not get the doctor to give you something different. Maybe it will work for you as it did for me and make you feel geat.
Hello lissie4, I want to thank you for your time in your comment to my question.. I went to the Dr. Although she is as nurse practitioner gave me Celex 20 mg. to take with the Buspar 15 mg. She advised me to break the Celex in half and try it for one week.. if that works, then start with the 20 mg for the second week.. I was wondering if the two combined would make a difference? Thank you and God bless you!
Hello lizzie4, I am so sorry your were diagnosed with TN, not sure what that is, but, I will pray for you.. God bless you with overflowing abundance and prosperity today and everyday of your life in Jesus sweet name-Amen
The power of prayer is amazing, thank you x
When coming off the celexa did you experience a bad withdrawal? I know this post is old hope it reaches you best wishes
Hello NanaJ7. If you actually are feeling comfortable on the Buspirone, I would remain on it. If you believe you might do better on the Celexa, you could try it, and if it does not work for you, go back on the Buspirone. (I am not a doctor) Regards pledge
