It takes 4-6 weeks to get the full effect of Buspar. It acts like a mild antidepressant with no sexual side effects. In fact, when I used it alone, that department was increased. I found the higher doses made me irritable 60 mg. Interestingly enough, I can take the 60 mg with Lexapro with no problem.
You can expect a dizzy like feeling with the initial onset of the med. I mean right after you put the pill in the mouth. Then there is the hunger that kicks in and it fades too. Again, those two symptoms are about 30 mins after taking the pill. If you have a tremor problem, it may worsen it. Other than that, I don't know of any other symptoms that I had. I didn't find the med that beneficial for my level of anxiety. I do like taking it with the Lexapro.
