In reply to Can Buspar worsen anxiety?, posted by Shell on September 2, 2006, at 23:47:47
> My anxiety has become markedly worse in the last month. I now have daily episodes where I become short of breath and my chest gets tight, which I almost never had before. My pdoc told me it was a fairly common reaction to Buspar -- some people actually experience an increase in their anxiety while taking it. He told me to stop taking it and that the anxiety should go back to at least my pre-Buspar levels.

> Has anyone else had this experience with Buspar? I don't remember reading anything about it and can't find anything online about increased anxiety as a side effect.
Any medication can worsen anxiety,sometimes you have to adjust the dose,other times you have to let urself adapt to it,and unfortunatly sometimes a drug ends up simply not being the right one for you.I know a lot of people who HATED klonopin,i mean hated it when they started,klonopin when u first use it can in some worsen all symptoms,anxiety,depression,mood swings,i know it did for me,i had to adjust the dose.
Also always take in as a factor any other drugs your using if you are,as that definatly can play a role in the change of effect a drug has on a person.
Good luck/
