      Mine was prescribed as needed I did that for a long time but it didn't seem to help, then I took it twice a day everyday like clockwork and it seemed to work a lot better for me. I also still took another if I needed it though. Overall it worked better for me when taken more regularly.

      I take it as needed. But I also take a stronger anti anxiety med (Klonopin). I don't feel like buspar works at all. Maybe it's because I'm on something stronger

        @Shalese when i was taking it everyday it made me really tired, i might try taking it as needed again because my anxiety has been through the roof lately and the citalopram isn’t holding up like it used to
