I am also considering trying buspar. Apparently it can take four to six weeks to work.(It is not immediate acting like a benzo) ARe you suppossed to take it twice or three times a day?
I had/have a thread going currently about other options for anxiety that you might want to check out. People gave lots of suggestions (Most were positive and helpful, a few were not)
Some suggestions that people gave me were: gabatril, beta blockers (ie inderal etc), lamictal etc I have not decided what I want to torture myself with next as I'm still coming off the disastrous WB and remeron mixture. (Well, dropped WB anyway). But soon I'm going to have to get back on the merry go round and it was good to get some suggestions to check out and take to my pdoc.
How long have you been trying the buspar? Any side effects? There actually have been some people who have had success with it (according to their ratings on remedyfind.com) but the anecdotal evidence certainly seems to be thumbs down (but maybe nobody stayed on it the full start up period??)
Good luck to you!
