Yes i was prescribed buspar back last year july when i first started going through my anxiety really bad. I didnt actually start it until September because i was so afraid to try any meds. So i cant say it was good or bad because my anxiety was so bad i didnt allow the medicine to maybe do its full potential. I only took it for 45 days. But i will say it kicks in like withing 20 min or so could be shorter could be longer and it makes you drowsy and you'll feel a sense of your nerves calm down. But the other side effects i experienced now that i realize my axiety symptoms were just that bad, im not sure if it was the medicine that caused those side effects or if it was just my anxiety just really over the top.

My anxiety is terrible was diagnosed with agoraphobia tried a couple different things like paxil which my body rejected and I cans remember the one before that but it wasn't good. I have read up on buspar and it seems to have less side effects and what it helps with are all of my symptoms,
