Other side effects have been reported, but are not more frequent than those encountered with placebo. An unusual side effect reported by patients is an enhanced sense of smell.

Rarely, buspirone's may have a dangerous nature or intensity. Some tend to disappear with continued therapy, or are less frequent if the initial dose is low and increased gradually.

wow...thank you

Ive never heard of this. But keep with the Lamictal cuz it's good stuff

BusPar is a non-addictive anti-anxiety med.

I was on it years ago and it did nothing for my anxiety, but that's just me.

I am sure you will find people it helps because everyone is different.
