Tina,
I have been on Buspar for years and it has helped me quite a bit. Before I started it, I had reached a
point where my anxiety prevented me from sleeping, I cried much of the time, and I had trouble
with excessive rumination. I am prescribed 30mg a day, though now I generally take less. I take
it at bed-time and during the night when I wake. I have always had an easy time falling asleep, but have
trouble staying asleep. I wake up ruminating and can't get back to sleep. The Buspar stop the
rumination within a half hour and allows me to sleep. I haven't had any side-effects, except that when
I first started taking it, I took 10mg in the morning and that made me really dopey.I guess I am lucky it has worked so well for me because I know that many people aren't helped by it at
all. I have heard that it works best for mild to moderate anxiety and I would say that accurately
describes me.Hope you and your husband are able to find some relief.
-Diane
