Buspirone Compared to Alternatives

For Anxiety: I haven’t been on this medication that long but I’ve notice my mind hasn’t been constantly racing. I don’t find myself day dreaming as much which was a slight cause of my anxiety. I take 5mg in the morning and 5mg in the evening.

For Anxiety: I liked buspirone and had been on this for over 10 years for anxiety, but now after being off it for 3 months and I realized that I had several side effects that I didn’t know was from this medicine. Glad I am off it and am now looking for more options.

For Anxiety: I have taken it on and off but decided to quit awhile back when I felt mentally healthy again. With in a couple weeks stopped but I tapered to make it less intense and stocked up on natural stuff like teas. Things happen in life and here I am older, with very hard things to face and need a little help again. I’m so shy about taking it as you should use caution and use it when you feel it’ll help detour a panic attack. Then currently I started getting gallstones and they cause nausea. I have a phobia with that and this helps me to eat till surgery. It helps in hard times in life. Also big moves stress me out and it’s helping this stressful period. I trust myself to stop when things get normal around me again.

For Anxiety: Its helps me function on a daily basis, It is non drowsy. It was made for me. It's not addictive (for me) and I can take up to 3 1mg tablets per day. I probably take one primarily at night. Some days 2, once during the day and one at night. I take it for anxiety and depression. I also take Endep at night. I feel almost normal!

For Anxiety: I have been on 2mg clonazepam for more than 5 years. It has done wonders for my anxiety and panic attacks. When I informed the Dr. I was concerned about addiction he advised me I am DEPENDANT on it, not ADDICTED. Addiction is the misuse of a drug he said, big difference! I am allowed 2mg up to 3 times a day but very rarely take more than 2. It has literally changed my life.

For Anxiety: This medication saved my life. I take it once a week, or whenever I'm having an unbearable anxiety attack, where I'm nauseous and shaking. It isn't meant to be used every day. It's habit-forming and you'll develop a tolerance, so I only take it when I really, really need it. Having it is just a comfort. It's like a safety net. Knowing that if the panic attack comes, I can stop the horrible effects and the pacing and the vomiting and shaking. A downside is that you'll develop a tolerance if you use it more than once or twice a week, so you do have to be extremely careful. It stops my panic attacks and it's saved my life. It's kept me from killing myself because I thought I'd never be able to escape the anxiety. I'd only recommend it if you've tried SSRIs and they haven't helped, and your anxiety is unbearably severe.
