Yesterday I was prescribed Buspirone to take in addition to my daily dose of 100mg of Zoloft. Is anyone else on these same meds, and have you had success or negative reactions? Thanks!!!

Everyone is different so people react differently to medication. I took it and it did nothing.
It does take several weeks for it to work in most cases.

My husband has been on Buspirobe a few years and he feels it really helps with his anxiety. He says it helps to relax him but it does take quite a few weeks to start working.

Thank you for that information.

I have been taking Prozac and Buspirone for years and it has definitely helped with my anxiety.

I’m on it 3 x a day. I do well. I’m also on Lexapro

I started buspirone 2 weeks ago today. I am hopeful it will help with anxiety and stress. But, come on already!! This waiting period stinks!! Depressing.

I just recently increased my dosage of Buspirone. I do have occasional
audio noises that aren't there just when starting to wake up--anyone else?

I recently went from 20mg to 30mg of buspirone after 2 years. I couldn’t tell much difference. It is a very mild drug in my experience.

I have been on Buspirone for seven years now. Prior to Buspirone, I was on Klonopin and I was concerned about becoming too dependent on it. Buspirone is a much safer medication and for me, and it is just as effective. I do sometimes hear a buzzing sound in my ear right after I take the medication. I call it the "Buspar Buzz." Per my doctor's suggestion, I find that if I take only 7.5 mg of Buspirone at a time, the buzzing sound disappears. As a result, I break the 15mg tablet in half for each dose. I take 7.5 mg in the morning, 7.5 mg at noon and 7.5 mg in the evening. I can tolerate the medication much better. When I first started taking it, I felt a little dizzy; however, these side effects wore off after I was on the medication for a couple of months.

I take Zoloft 200 mg and Buspar, 5 mg, but also Rexulti.
