I was put on buspar several months ago and honestly it did nothing for me either, i only tried it for around 2 weeks, it would get to shaking so bad from it that it wasnt worth it. So after a few months of not taking it and my anxiety still attacking me i gave it another shot and got the same results. My doc wanted me to then try cymbalta, then lexapro, I hate those meds, maybe I didnt given them long enough but I felt worse, ask your dr. about sam-e or 5-htp, or even vistaril, which is a relaxation med with no side effects other than making you sleepy sometimes.

Hi as we speak i am on 40mgs of busiprone, at first they perscribed me 15 mgs where i would take 7.5 in morning and 7.5 at night...i was on that for about 3 weeks, and it did NOTHING FOR ME, i was still feeling a lot of anxiety, and it made things worse, i started having thoughts, and i worry so much about EVERYTHING...i worry so much it ruins my everyday life...so then i went back in and she raised it to 30 mgs...i was takin 10mgs 3 times a day, and at first i thought it was doing something because i was fine for about a month, and now im back in the same position, so i told her that i think i need my medicine raised, so she perscribed me 40 mgs, and i really dont know if it is working..because i just started it..i just got over a anxiety attack 3 days ago...and i dont like them at all...

So maybe you should go in and have your doctor give you a higher dose if busiprone...maybe that will help..the maximum dose for busiprone is 60mgs...Good luck.

Thanks for your posts, not very encouraging tho lol. I will keep plugging away with the meds, to no avail, until i see the doc on Aug 10th. I will keep you posted on what happens. Gl to you guys, living with extreme anxiety is no fun!
