I wholeheartedly agree! I was able to talk to a man who wanted to ask me out yesterday only after taking xanax and would before have been shaky and blushing, and would have not talked to him! I just wish my doctor would realize this.
I took a class recently on medications, about a year ago (so of course there may be a lot more meds out there today, fingers crossed) and I learned something I never knew before, and my wish is that is it can help anyone out there taking buspar, then great, because buspar did nothing for me (yes, it seemed like a placebo!) I read that when taken with grapefruit, the effect skyrocketed. i don't know why, something about what it metabolizes, or something, sorry i can't tell you more. But grapefruit is a strange thing, bad effects and good effects on different medicine, but unfortunately they don't seem to know enough yet, and only sometimes labal that on a bottle. Anyway, for those of you who do like buspar, grapefruit may help. if it does, please let us know! I would love to hear a buspar success story too! Thanks :)
