Hi,
Can anyone recommend the best starting dosage for Buspar? I am thinking 5 mg, twice a day with food. Is that a good plan?
How long should I stay on 5 mg twice a day before moving up to 10 mg twice a day?thanks

Hi,
Start low, go slow.
That's the trick!You might try 10 mg twice a day after one week.
The target dose should be 30-40 mg a day.I'm on 40 mg of this drug myself.
But I'm a 200 lbs. male.You can experience side effects in the beginning.
They will disappear after some time.Best regards,

Remeron 40 mg
Buspar 40 mg
Lyrica 25 mg
Fluanxol 1 mg

Hi,
Buspar is a mild drug that has few side effects.
You might feel a bit jittery at the beginning of the treatment.Normally you won't experience any side effects after a few months on this drug.
Best regards,

Depends on whether you have any side effects.
