Hi. I also had a horrible reaction to Paxil. It made me completely freak out! I was even more nervous and anxious than before, which I hadn't thought possible! Not to mention I gained weight and lost my sex drive. Then my dr put me on Buspar, and it has been amazing! For about a half hour after I take it, I feel a little strange, but I've been taking it for about a month, and it has been great! My husband recently got a job in another city, and so I'm going to have to move and find a new apartment and everything else that goes along with moving, but I've been dealing with it so well. I don't wake up at 4am every morning gasping for breath and my heart racing. I don't have panic attacks when I'm in a crowded place, or when things don't go exactly the way I plan for them to go. I feel like a completely different person -- someone who can actually cope with things. I can sit and read a book for a few hours now, and actually concentrate on what I'm reading. Before I started taking the Buspar, I read a lot of not very positive comments on this message board, so I was really nervous about taking it. But it has really made a difference for me. I hope you have success with it, too, but keep in mind that these drugs work differently for everyone. Good luck!
