netsavy006 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I did a search for this particular medication, but I couldn't find much information (on the forum), so I thought I'd make a new thread on the subject. Who here is or has taken Buspar? How do/did you like it? What was your starting dose, and how did you increase it? Any other information you are willing to share about your experience I didn't ask about? I thank you in advance for any info you can provide. ~ Andy Edited May 10, 2013 by netsavy006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusk Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have taken it and it didn't do anything for me. It has been a life saver for my husband, though. I'm not sure of the dosages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgetmenot220 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I took it for awhile, I think I started out on like...15 mg/day...then as things got a little worse, I eventually got up to 60 mg/day (the max), had to stop it for like 3 weeks while I waited for my rx to arrive in the mail, went back on it, and nada. New pdoc had me ditch it and I can't say I've missed it. When I started back on it again, at straight 60 mg (30 mg twice a day), I had nausea but that's all. No withdrawal effects either! I hope it works well for you if you are going to try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writehellarandomshiny Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I took it. I don't remember how long I took it. I took a half dose at first. It liked me. I tirated up as per doctor's orders. It didn't help as much. I started to get dizzy. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unstrung Harp Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I've been on it for years for GAD. I think I started at 15mg or perhaps 15mg twice daily. I take a total of 45mg a day now (15 in morning 30 at night). I've found its effects to be pretty subtle -- I'm not always sure what it's doing for me but I feel really unfocused if i don't take it for a few days. Never had any side effects with it personally.

malachite Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Buspar, for me, was like taking an M&M. It was pretty innocuous but it didn't help my anxiety a bit. Wish you well as you trial it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychosis Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I take four every night, when most of my anxiety starts kicking in. At the moment they're pretty nice, just chill. it doesn't change a thing during daily activities though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
