For Anxiety "Wait 6 weeks, but it helps before then too. I have been on it at 25 mg a day for a year. Just recently, I have been in a traumatic situation, and I ramped up the dosage to 40/50 mg to help. It has been a huge help, and I only have taken 2 Ativan during this three-week ordeal. I think BuSpar for me makes me tired when I am not anxious and is a huge help when I am. It seems to cut the adrenaline levels, and that is what works for me without the sexual side effects that SSRIs have."

For Panic Disorder "I have taken this medication for a month, and in that time, I have had the quietest mind of my life. I take Lexapro for my regular medicine, and this is for easing the generalized anxiety disorder that acts up so frequently. Never have I been able to stop myself from a panic attack like this. It's amazing. The first week was tiring and disorienting... after that, smooth sailing."

For Anxiety "After trying SSRIs and other medicines, I have finally found BuSpar, and it has changed my life in less than two weeks! I have had mild to moderate anxiety for a few years, and now that I'm taking BuSpar (I only need 15 mg/day in divided doses), I feel normal again. My mood is more positive, and I laugh/am happy more even in this tough economic time! No major side effects. The first couple of days it made me a little tired, and that's it. I really started noticing changes about 8-9 days, I could feel a huge difference, and the anxiety is GONE! This is a safe medicine to take (non-habit-forming), and I would recommend it to anyone. It has changed my life, thank you BuSpar."

For Anxiety "A little over 2 years ago, I started feeling anxiety thinking of bad things that would happen to me or my family. I would worry about these things every day, and then I would have trouble breathing, and it was all due to anxiety. My doctor prescribed BuSpar, and everything went away. I felt normal and stress-free, and the feelings I had went away. I also read BuSpar is for short term, but as long as your doctor prescribes it for you, you should take it as long as you need to. Without it, I would be a wreck. As for side effects, I get dizzy and tired. I take one 15mg at night and the other in the afternoon after work, and take about a 30-minute break to lay down or just watch TV. I feel much better after that."
