I've been taking Buspar for two years to control the symptoms of anxiety. Buspar has worked well for me. I had strong physical sensations of anxiety such as a "knot in my stomach" and hot flushes (can't be menopause because I'm a guy). Also Buspar helps me control my thoughts that some terrible event is just around the corner and I've got to do something to prepare for this unknown event. I've not had any side effects.

After trying to treat my anxiety and panic attacks for years with SSRIs and benzodiazepines, this finally works. I take 3 x 5 mg and started to experience a significant decrease in anxiety and compulsive thoughts, after only 4 days. So far I am happy with Buspar. No side effects whatsoever.

I have been taking it for almost a month. The Dr said it might be 2 weeks before i started feeling better but actually I felt better within 3 days. I am taking it for panic attacks and anxiety associated with a traumatic event.

I have been taking Buspar for just over 8 months and I take 60-75 mg a day, depending on the day. I take for panic attacks associated with PTSD. I have had no side effects from this, but I do know when I have missed a dose, so when I do come off this I do expect a withdrawal period but for now it has helped me regain a normal life. I take this with a few other medicines such as Celexa, Wellbutrin, Trazadone and seroqeul. This really works.

I have been taking this medicine 15mg in the morning and 15mg at night and it works great. Never had any medical problems before then last year all of a sudden I had a panic attack and was in bed three weeks with anxiety, it scared me to death. I was in such fear I shook. This drug took three weeks to get me OK but it's now been 19 months without anxiety I hope it works long term. I still fear another panic attack it was horrible expecially for someone who had always been healthy and happy.

I have been taking Buspar for a while, and it seems to work quite well. I do have one side effect from it, which is light-headedness. Therefore, I take it before I go to bed.

Buspar has been very effective for me in treating occasional panic attacks and generalized anxiety, without side effects I've experienced with other medications such as Paxil. Doctors have been inclined to prescribe other medications as my anxiety symptoms often occur with emotional situations (death of loved one etc.) and I am crying alot. However the emotion is a natural reaction to the situation. Anti-depressant meds affected me negatively in contrast to buspar which helps alot.
