For Anxiety: I feel like most of the reviews that say they had panic attacks on it is because they had reduced or stopped a benzo Xanax, kolanapin, valum. I am on Xanax and feel a difference after taking buspar for a while. My doctor did not take me off the xanax or lower the dose but said see how you feel. I also have a non addicting personality but I am dependent on the medication ill admit. i feel that most of you should have started taking the buspar and took the benzo as well because you might be feeling the anxiety more because of that not the new medication. You are withdrawing. These medications need to be slowly weened off and only after the new meds have started working. I feel bad you guys didn't give it a chance because of your Drs. |

For Erectile Dysfunction: What can I say other than its the best invention ever . It works great . I had no side affects . Only thing is make sure you use the right dosage that works best for you . I tried a higher dosage and found that a 20 mg worked better than a bigger dose . Who knows why ? My wife loves it and she has no idea that I am even taking it . I figure as long as she is happy with me that is all that matters . For Erectile Dysfunction: I'm 71 and used ED drugs now for 15 years. Last year, when the drug companies clouded and jacked the price of a 100 MG Viagra tablet up to $50 I went looking for alternatives. Found Revalto was the exact same drug as Sildenifil Citrate only in 20MG tablets so I talked to my Dr and he wrote me a prescription for 10 of them, which only cost me $3.25 I had been taking the 100MG Viagra so I took 5 each of the 20MG tablets the first time I tried them and that worked like magic again. Over the past year I've found out that 3 of those 20MG tablets work fine and the only difference I see is they work MUCH FASTER (20 minutes for me) so adjust your "session" accordingly! And 3 of those only costs .95 cents!!! ;-) |

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.
