I am an older person too. I have no pain. I am thinking of switching from Ativan(Lorazipam)
to Buspirone because I have been living with the same side effects for at least 8 months.
The drowsiness and leg weakness I have all the time. The nausea kicks in bigtime when I wake
in the morning.
There has not been a medication I have tried ( about a dozen) that have not had the same side effects. Some better, others worse but down the line they all same to make you feel like s.......t.
I guess I'll forget about Buspirone. The only good thing, I could be wrong, It's not habit forming.
I wish you all the best in finding something that works for you.

Thank you for your comment. I also tried Ativan and it is the most sedating of all the benzos. I found buspirone to be almost the same. It has the wierdest side effects and would recommend you read about the side effects to know what you are taking before trying it. I thought buspirone would be easy to tolerate but it was not so for me. I read reviews online and it has one of the lowest approval ratings for anxiety. Good luck to you.
