Looking for advice on anxiety medication

What is your experience with taking Buspar for your anxiety? My psychiatrist finally wants to give me a medication for my anxiety, but I wanted your thoughts or suggestions for other meds?

Can you help? connect today

I’m on it now. I’m actually weaning off other anti anxiety medication. It is helping

My psychiatrist just put me on gabapentin yesterday and I’ve been using propranolol for panic attacks in public. She wants me to wait and see what gabapentin does before she gives me buspar

I've been on Buspar for a while and the way I describe it is that it doesn't make you feel like a zombie. It's very subtle and a huge help.

I know it works differently for different people, but weirdly i didn't feel any different on buspar, just felt more tired :I Now i take something else

What is the difference between Buspar and busperion

CinnamonChild

i thought it was short for busperion. Is it not?

It worked for a couple of months but gave me really weird side effects, so I had to stop.

I have been taking it for 5 years, and it's been a life saver for me.

It saved my life. I had constant low level panic attacks before buspar, and afterwards they went away

i didn't notice any difference whatsoever when taking buspar personally lol however, i also had no side effects. i've heard great things about it from friends though, i think it's a good medication
