Hey everyone,
I started Buspar on April 2nd at 5mg twice a day. The first week I actually felt some relief my anxiety felt quieter and more manageable, and I had hope it was finally working. But now, a few weeks in, my anxiety feels awful again. It honestly feels overwhelming at times, like I’m back where I started or even worse on some days. That initial improvement seems to have faded and I’m feeling really discouraged. I’m not sure if this is normal with Buspar like maybe it takes longer to fully kick in and the effects come and go at first? Or does this usually mean the dose is too low or it’s not the right medication? I’m waiting to talk to my doctor because he’s been out of town, but I just wanted to see if anyone else experienced this same pattern early on.
