New anxiety meds

My doctor prescribed me buspirone I was on 7.5mg twice a day now I’m on 15mg twice a day and my anxiety has never been this bad ever. I feel like everything is spinning, I’ve started back getting heart palpitations, and I get really bad headaches. I’m always nauseous and lightheaded. I don’t know what to do anymore.

I’ve heard good things about celexa. I’ll mention it to my doctor. Any bad side effects?

My side effects were nausea but stopped two days later, headache, increased anxiety, and sleepiness. Boy did I sleep a lot in the beginning. You get a lot of rest. That's exactly what I needed. You have to stick it out trust me the trade off is worth it.
