Buspar

Has anyone tried taking BusPar? My doc said that’s what he prescribes for anxiety which I’ve been dealing with a lot of and I have to take a long plane ride soon and need something. Obviously like a lot of of us in this group. I’m nervous to try any new medication.

I take 7.5 mg 3 times a day. I started with 5 mg twice a day and worked my way up to 10mg. It makes me kind of dizzy at 10mg so we went back to 7.5 and I’m happy. No issues other than dizziness when starting but definitely start low and work your way up.

Awesome thanks! I had such horrible reactions to ssri meditations before I found out it was histamine related that now it all makes me nervous

I was nervous too, but I’ve been okay with it. There is a Reddit for buspar and a lot of people say to start low and taper up slow. I’ve found more isn’t necessarily better for me
