Cons:
|
irritability, price, non-fast acting
|

This med really did nothing for me. After the initial 'waiting' period for it to kick in, nothing ever happened. It seemed as if this medication was a placebo. About the only thing it did for me was make me more irritable.

n/a
|
|
Cons:
|
felt like I was in a fog, disorientated, agitated.
|
|
I didn't care for this medication at all, even after being on it for close to a month, I never seemed to get out of the "cloud" I was in. I felt that side affect was worse than the initial anxiety.

Pros:
|
it did help my generalized anxiety
|
|
Cons:
|
lots of side effects, the worst was a constant diziness
|
|
Side effects were numerous and constant... and feeling dizzy 24/7 made it impossible to live a normal life.

Buspar was the first medication I was given for my anxiety attacks I started having in 1994. I found that is had no effect on my anxitey level & was like taking nothing. My anxiety level continued to worsen even with the use of buspar.

This did absolutely nothing for my anxiety symptoms on 3 different tries. I have a bottle full of it just sitting in my closet. Blah. It's like drinking water... no effect at all.

Had a tendency to overshoot (going beyond just being calm almost like too calm) in the first 1/2 hour and drop off and then come back up and then drop off too early

Didn't wake up when my kid needed me to.
|

I was prescribed this after having sudden 'anxiety attacks' for about a month. I took it for 5 days and really felt as though I was there but not there. Having two very small kids, I couldn't handle not being there for them. On the fifth night, my oldest woke during the night after an 'accident' (still learning) and I had no idea the next morning that my husband had gotten my child up, changed clothes, stripped the bed, and sprayed the mattress pad down outside with the hose. All at 3 in the morning! That scared me, so I stopped the med the next day. Oh, and I still got heart racing and sweats... so it did not really help the nerves to much.

Pros:

effective for me at higher doses
|
|
Cons:

nausea, dizziness (infrequent)
|

I thought this med was worthless and my p-doc crazy (ha ha) until she boosted my dose up to the higher limits (above 50 mg/day). Bingo! I now take it in three doses a day, and am finding myself considerably less anxious. I've had anxiety problems--serious problems--for nearly 20 years and have only found this level of relief with benzos in the past, taken in a reactive sort of mode. The buspar, taken prophylactically, is doing very well for me. You MUST work with your doctor to ramp up to the effective dose.

Placebo effect maybe???
|

Cons:

Didn't work
|

I was on this medication for about 6 months and I still am not sure if it worked, don't believe so.
I eventually got on
Klonopin for anxiety because my panic attacks were too severe and buspirone didn't work immediatley to help anxiety attacks.

I was shocked that it actually helped me. I take the 15 mg 4x a day...that might be why. I cannot remember my last panic attack.

Wow! Buspirone has so far been a great help to me. I have been taking fluoxetine (Prozac) for 2 years and well lately it has lost all of its inital benefits. My doc recommended giving Buspar a try. I do not know if it's Prozac-back-online or buspirone alone, but I definately feel like something has pressed the right buttons in my brain and my anxiety is withdrawing. I've understood that many people find buspirone useless which is a shame. It might be that buspirone needs an SSRI in order to exert any effect, on the other hand I have generalized anxiety and buspirone works the best against this ailment. Seriously people this drug is highly selective and working in the field of molecular biology I must admit that this thing by mechanism is just made for killing anxiety (even the slight D2 antagonism is necessary IMO).

Pros:
|
Antianxiety/sleep
|
|
Cons:
|
drowsiness
|

Primary use of this drug is for antianxiety, not as a sedative/hypnotic. It is an anxiolitic that is commonly used in place of ativan as a non addictive med. I'm not sure why they have it listed as sedative/hypnotic. Even the manufacturer has a different take on the med. Regardless, I have found it quite helpful in alleviating my panic attacks and PTSD symptoms.
