In reply to Buspar stories? Weight gain?, posted by Racer on January 1, 2006, at 15:38:26
I just started Buspar two days ago. I am taking 10 mg twice per day. The side effects showed up immediately for me. I have had dizziness and diarrhea; also, feeling more anxious at times. I am also taking Tranxene 3.75 mg twice per day, and have been for about 3 weeks. The goal is to continue the Tranxene for about three more weeks, then take only the Buspar for a few months. I was on Lexapro for one year and came off of it in July. By November, I started having unrelenting anxiety. I've had panic attacks in the past and could control those, but the daily anxiety was too much. I hope this Buspar works b/c I tried to get back on the Lexapro again for four days, and I got really sick from it. I lost 6 lbs. during that time and was constantly freaked out. I'm working with a dual MD/ND, so also started herbs to support my adrenals and had food testing done. Unfortunately, I feel too ill right now to get to the gym for a workout.
