Starting Buspar for Anxiety: What to Expect?

Finally starting buspar today for anxiety that has been crippling! Had to beg my PCP when my psych couldn’t get me in…but I digress. I am a recovery addict and one of my issues was benzos hence a non addictive anxiety med. If you’ve taking buspar or Buspirone is it immediate effect, over time, what can I expect???? I’m taking 7.5mg as needed

Can you help? Connect today

I’m also in recovery! I just started yesterday and it makes me pretty tired, I think it does build up in your system but also has some immediate effect.

Just took my first dose and definitely feel a little sleeping like eyes a little heavy not necessarily a body buzzing feeling. I guess I’ll have to stay tuned! DM me! Would love to talk about sobriety

I’ve been taking it for a couple years, i believe it took a few weeks before I was really noticing it.

Ive been on it for years! It takes about 2-3 weeks for it to mesh with your system. Make sure to communicate with your support network and to look for smaller changes. You may not notice them but others will.

i took it for awhile in middle school, it was an odd experience honestly. i had some side effects so it wasnt the thing for me, but from what ive heard it works great for lots of people.
