> Did it have side effects?I am taking a miniscule dose of Buspar right now. The only side effects I have had are dizziness and lightheadedness. Often times, when people go off of meds that they have been on awhile, they experience delayed withdrawal symptoms that can be very unpelasant. I'm nto a doctor, but I'd think that she may want to stick this out (and it's incredibly miserable- trust me I know) to see if these symptoms subside or lessen in the next couple of months. her dosage, whether she quit cold turkey, and also how long she was on it may tell a bit as to whether or not this is withdrawal. Also, I wonder if shes taken a benzo like xanax or valium, that could play a role too.
