"in a nutshell, even though i did not want this drug to work because i hate taking medicine, it really does help me! i refuse to take benzos. my therapist talked me into trying buspar. it made me really tired at first. but honestly, now that i look back, i think it did that because it seemed to slow my racing mind down. so naturally, once i relaxed a bit more, my body finally could rest. my anxiety is not gone. but when i am in a place where i feel safe, i am able to relax and my mind isn&#039;t so noisy. it is a strange, new feeling."
