Hi,buspirone has been MILDLY effective at low doses (up to 30 mg a day). My recent anxiety crisis caused my pdoc to raise that to 40 mg a day. Well.... yes, I have been less anxious since raising the dose. Unfortunately, I have also become lethargic, sleeping around the clock and feeling an unpleasant sedation effect. It bothers me, becasue it doesn't feel like the antihistaminic sedation from a TCA: more like a feeling of muscular weakness. I am going to lower the dose to 30 mg again and see if my pdoc wants to prescribe me something better when I see him on Monday. But I believe it can be helpful (in relatively low doses)if you have something stronger on hand to deal with anxiety flareups.
