In reply to Buspar making me anxious?, posted by canyon17 on May 11, 2009, at 16:52:15
> I began taking buspar (the generic form) about 4-5 weeks ago. Initially I thought it was helping, but that may have just been psychological. My question is, has anyone here actually had buspar make you more on edge and irritable? That's what's happened to me.

> Thanks!Yes, I did find it made me irritable and anxious as well sometimes, but typically this was at the beginning of treatment or when I was titrating the dose. It's most likely the 1-PP metabolite that's to blame. How are you dosing it?? If QD (1x daily), I might suggest BID (2x daily). If already BID, perhaps TID (3x daily). Each dose would then be adjusted down accordingly. Hopefully, you'll be able to adjust to it in time with some patience and some dosage adjustments.
