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.

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.
