Ok I decided to give this medication a try for general anxiety. I was prescribed 10 mg of Buspirone twice a day and started taking it two days ago. To my understanding it takes 2-4 weeks for full effects. I feel some mild lightheadedness after taking it but no other side effects yet.

 

Something to watch out for with this medication? Successful anecdotes?

 

I did a quick search and it seems some take it up to 60 mg a day. I may ask for dose increase after few weeks if it doesn't seem to work?

Update:

 

Day 12 now on Buspirone. It seems surprisingly effective for anxiety but I've started experiencing mood lability. I seem to switch between feeling good and then somewhat miserable? I kinda feel like I should tough it out since Buspirone seems way better choice than benzos for anxiety, but I've also read that this side effect may not disappear even in long term use of this medication. Not sure yet what I'm going to do.
