I was put on this "placebo" a month ago...This useless drug gives me something to do three times a day in leiu of biting my fingernails. I seem to get the same response from everyone I know who's taken this "medicine" (medicine-HA!) Any positive responses out there? Anyone? Anyone???(....crickets chirping....)

Is this a drug to help you stop bitting your nails? If so, I could use it because I don't have any left from bitting mine. MS stress, mood swings, depression...I have it all and I take it with a daily dose of "nails". I've been eating sunflower seeds to try and get off my nail addiction but now my sodium levels are through the roof. Where do I get BuSpar?

It is used alot to stop eating disorders & helps occasionally with smoke addiction. I just added it to my Zoloft this month. Like all other antidepressants, it takes a month for it to get into your system. You may need a higher dose.

Buspar
Buspar is used to treat anxiety. It may help you think more clearly, relax, worry less, and take part in everyday life. It may also help you to feel less jittery and irritable, and may control symptoms such as trouble sleeping, sweating, and pounding heartbeat. Buspirone is a medication for anxiety (anxiolytic) that works by affecting certain natural substances in the brain (neurotransmitters).

Thanks for your response guys. The only thing BuSpar did was allow me to watch a guy plow his Mustang into a lightpole and NOT freak out. I watched the guy go blam and said, "Wow, look at that guy, he hit a tree....what a shame hope he's ok. That was the highlight of my BuSpar experience, now I'm back to cranky "ready to slap somebody Rhonda." Now Xanax, Xanax is another story, its like Manna from heaven.....and just about as hard to come by too. As for where you get BuSpar, it comes from the doctor but I bet I could get better meds from PetSmart!
