Starting Buspar for Anxiety: Any Tips?

Has anyone ever drank 🍸alcohol while being on Buspirone? What dosage of Buspirone are you on, how much alcohol did you drink, and what happened?

I was only on 30mg Buspar before my daughter died and when I went inpatient my drs elevated my dose. Now I have to take 15mg 3 times a day. I gradually let it get into it and I haven't noticed anything wrong. But the buspirone works like a charm Now and is helping me alot.

I take it twice a day and it’s helped a ton! I just think of it as a booster for my antidepressant. I had side effects for about a week, but after that everything calmed down, which is pretty normal for me.

^^ I hope I can get back to waking up early!

I take it twice a day. It helped me SO MUCH. It helped me start becoming consistent in housework, working out, and waking up on time.

I take it. Helps me alot. Compared to without.

i take 10mg of buspar, in addition to 150mg of effexor and i feel that with these two pills combined, i feel safe and i don’t panic as much. buspar has really helped me

5mg to start..

I take it before bed so I don't feel the side effects. It works well for me because when I'm off it, I notice;

It’s not my favorite but it is slightly beneficial so I stay on it. Anxiety meds don’t work well for me unfortunately so the fact that it makes a slight improvement is a win lol. Dizziness and high heart rate are the side effects I had in the beginning but I have a an existing condition that plays into that

i’m starting buspar today! feels nice to know someone else is taking it for the first time too! how many mg?

I take it. I really like it. I have some panic but only when I get super stressed out. I don’t regret the decision to take it at all. No weirdness for me personally.

I take it and the biggest side effect I had was dizziness which was only really bad for a few days when I started it and anytime my dose increased.
