Anxiety Support Group

I started Buspirone about a month ago, and like you it started working quickly, then after about a week it wasn't working, so my dr. increased the dose to 1 14mg tablet twice a day, and it has taken a week or so to work again. Now I am much better with the anxiety, but haven't really tested it by planning a trip. I think it is important to take it at the same time each day. Hope this helps

hi i started taking buspirone a couple of weeks ago and it calms me down abit im having to take 3 a day though what dose are you taking?

right now im on 5mg 3 times a day, i think he wants to increase it to 10mg 3 times a day. i was just wondering if it was just a psycological thing that just by taking any pill i would feel better right away.lol

my experience with buspirone was a good one. i think it is fine whn taken alone (no other meds).It can have a sedative effect, so if you are feeling too tired, yo may possibly ask to try another med with less of a sedative effect, like celexa...also a good med, in small dose. Like all meds...you cannot stop "cold turkey"...plz wean off. I am now med free, however, i did find the buspirone effective.

im on 5mg aswell but im also having cbt and coucilling i think it just takes time well thats what my doctor keeps saying to me

I wasnt such a big fan...it made me all zombified! But it may work for you so ...ya never know

im actually on 6 meds right now, effexor, serouquel, trazodone, lithium, ativan and buspirone, i feel like a freaking ambulatory pharmacy!!

Just started taking three weeks ago. It kicked in a couple of days later, but like teabag it started to not work so my doctor increased it to 10 mg 2x a day. As for sedating effects, I've been on klonopin and xanax, and I choose the buspirone cause the sedative effects are nothing compared to klonopin and xanax which I like very much.

Been taking Buspar for about a year now, 10mg 3x a day. It works pretty well.

im on buspirone 4 times a day 5mg it works not bad likes
