After I have had continuous and a lot of failures with a lot of different kind of benzos I have been put on buspar and I am now taking it for a couple of months. After so many failures I sincerely thought that this would be another “no effects drug” and in the beginning it really seemed so because I have started with 10 mg of it per day for a while – zero effects at all, then I raised the dosage to 20 mg per day and this time I could feel something but very slightly. I changed my mind that this is the “no effects drug” when I have started to take 40 mg per day of this drug because this was when I could finally feel that it does something for me. I am now on 40 mg per day too and I can say that it has helped me greatly both with my anxiety as well as with my sexual side effects that I have developed in the time when I was taking Prozac (extremely bad drug, at least for me). I have divided my dosage in 2 – one during the day and the second one at night and I am also taking my night dosage with trazodone. By doing this it has helped me to eradicate the fluctuating tolerance issues I have had with trazodone. however, you should also be careful because this drug has a couple of side effects. even though I have never got any brain zaps (I occasionally got them with other benzos), I am now getting (from time to time), some pretty long lasting headaches, some unpleasant nightmares and uncontrollable bouts of anger. However, other than these 3 side effects I am not suffering from anything else and then later, when I have weighted the benefits – helped with my GAD, sexual side effects and so on I decided that it is much more helpful so it is the worth side effects. I would recommend it but I know myself that benzos are working differently for different people and that is why I won’t recommend it but I would say: give it a try if other benzos don’t work for you.

For those who need some information I can help. I think that I experienced all the possible side effects from buspar and it wasn’t easy. During my entire administration I experienced a strange hazy feeling. Not to mention the fact that I always have had the feeling of nausea during the entire day, very intensive heart beats and at the same time a strange feeling that I can’t breathe. Even if I experienced different kind of effects I was very happy because I didn’t felt anymore the feeling of anxiety and there were no more stress. My doc decided that I had to stop the administration because of these effects but it was very hard because I was scared that the feeling of anxiety will come back. There are 4 months since I administrated for the last time buspar. I feel good for now, no more anxiety or stress and all my effects passed away.
