> Hi.

I am willing to tough it out if the thing will work, but I wonder if anyone has any comments about how long these side effects will continue.

Hi.

Perhaps you can remain on Klonopin and use Xanax and propanalol for acute anxiety episodes and panic attacks respectively. It doesn't seem that Buspar is treating you too well. I am not sure if your "startup" anxiety indicates eventual nonresponse or whether this is something that often happens early on, but that might still result in a good response later on. From what I have read of other people's experiences, your startup anxiety is not a good sign that Buspar is the right drug for you.

I am no expert and have no personal experience with Buspar. Wait for other people to comment before doing anything.

Good luck.

- Scott
