TLDR: Buspirone is great for my ADHD beyond anxiety issues (it mitigates the pain of boredom) even though it usually feels like it does nothing at all.
We comply with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information - My doctor prescribed me this and told me to take it when needed or everyday which ever I prefer. I always attributed that to just feeling drowsy but yeah--there is that odd, heavy feeling. Everyone wants to reinvent the wheel.” They are putting us on meds such as Seroquel, and others that are NOT designed to treat anxiety.
I also have a ringing in my ears that has been pretty constant, so I think it's from the buspar.
Effects from this combo are felt within one to three days (yes, that’s days.) If I'm physically active immediately after taking the meds I don't notice the shakyness.
PS No probs taking Buspar and Phenibut at the same time. I don't like how doctors are so quick to throw all sorts of different psychotic medications at patients when for the most part they don't really work. I don't recall the dose as this was years ago.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castDiscussion and support for sufferers and loved ones of any anxiety disorder.Press J to jump to the feed. I took that the first day and felt okay. On the first day my sleep was not deep and a I had weird dreams. “Buspar is supposed to take a month to work give or take.
Actually my anxiety has been pretty bad lately and your post reminded me that I haven't actually taken my buspar in several weeks. I did for a few months until I gave up Buspar as it was crap and made me dizzy. I started off at 5mg and now I’m up to 30mg a day. I just took my first dose this morning, it's a 5 mg pill, I think that's pretty low. I guess it depends on the personBuspar did nothing for me. I suffer from severe anxiety, and panic attacks.

It is not an SSRI and doesn’t have as bad side affects. !” The only problem I had was that it made me feel funny (hard to describe, maybe light headed) about half an hour after taking it. That's not happening the 2nd time around though.I started it 3 weeks ago and it has been good so far.Much less panic and anxiety, not too many side effects (felt nauseated for a few days), but the pros far outweigh the cons.I am taking 7.5mg twice a day alongside 20mg citalopram.5mgs in the morning was great for me for a few weeks.
“Do not take this drug. Lessened my anxiety quite a bit. I was on it for about two weeks and called my doc after the first week because I was experiencing 'brain zaps' after my evening dose. No side effects, nothing positive, nothing negative. I also get that heavy headed and out of it feeling too though!I vouch for what everyone else is saying about taking it at night though, and a couple of hours before you actually wake up. I would fall asleep and stay asleep for a long time shortly after taking a dose, and if I was doing something the drowsiness would really be a problem.Though, I have to say, while I was on it I actively confronted and survived my biggest phobia (severe weather) without panic attacks, and I did not worry about things ahead of time before they happened. My old doctor prescribed me Xanax and Buspar. I called the nurse line for help because I could not reach my psychiatrist! Social anxiety is a real mental health issue. I suppose that might not be as annoying to others as it is to me :-/Grapefruit is pretty awesome. It's very mild, no physical side effects that I can tell. I only got 4 hrs of sleep and will not ever take it again.” Buspar did not help me. More effects are felt if you take a morning dose of buspar as well, around 15-20mg. I just constantly over think everything to the point I avoid certain situations because I fear the outcome. Last week I began itching like crazy [haven't changed soaps or diet, could be stress or weather change] so I stopped it all together. Just because something isn't a narcotic doesn't mean it should be overprescribed and just because Benzodiazepines are narcotics doesn't mean they shouldn't be prescribed.” The risks, according to her and what I've read, are pretty low.I was recently put on it at 5 mg twice a day. It can be unpleasant, but it only lasts a short time, and the benefits I've gotten from being on this medication far outweigh the small side effects I've felt. I have to immediately lay down, that's why I now take it at night.Is the head sensation your talking about like Welburtin? Works very well for me.
With an appreciation for life, an understanding of the problem, and with the energy to take it on, I know there’s no way I can fail to a point of no return. Thank goodness for the ER staff who helped me!”
Thanks! Just wondering what others have to say about it.I personally didn't see any change at all after using it for a month :( Everyone is different though! This med is horrible !!
