When I took Buspar I was waking up to white flashes before I opened my eyes in the morning. I was in sad shape.
Buspar was helpful but there were 2 problems:
1) the part of my brain that says 'okay you've had enough to eat now' stopped functioning and I gained 30 to 40 pounds (from 120 that was some leap)
2) once my anxieties lessened, the buspar made me too stupid to know to stop taking it
