When do side effects occur in the beginning of trying uspar or after I have been on it for a while?

thank you, you answered my question and been very helpful this is only the third day I have been on it I know it takes time to become full effective I have all the patience in the World to put up with a few side effects but more than a few I don't know if I could handle that but never been on this medicine, I also take Abilify and Lexapro once at night. So, I am always Leary trying something new but will continue it as long as it helps me and no side effects one I always worry about with anxiety meds and antipsychotic med sis weight gain had that one on others I been on seen it listed on Buspar it was a small percentage that got that side effect like 0 to 1 percent or something like that so I wont worry too much about it.

I haven't gained an ounce since I started taking it. If you didn't gain weight from your Abilify or Lexapro it's pretty unlikely that you will on BuSpar.
BTW, I also took Abilify and Lexapro and didn't gain on them either. A large majority of people don't but you only hear about the few that have.
Take care and good luck.

I did in the beginning gain some weight on Abilify but I have been on it for years and haven't gained anymore on it which is good the cramping has let up some or stopped maybe it was because it was a new med I never been on before. And also it says to take three a day I am taking two a day instead Morning and Evening just to see how it works for me three times a day is a bit much I think when trying a new med if I need to I will take three once I get used to the Buspar tomorrow will be day 5 I have been on it so far the side effects were diarrhea and cramping but that has gone away now hopefully those were all the side effects I had and wont have anything else I will be patient and give it time to work 2-4 weeks I should be feeling really good and have little to no anxiety is what I am hoping it helps with Best regards to you as well and thanks for the advice.
