"i&#039;ve been taking buspar for two years to control the symptoms of anxiety.  buspar has worked well for me.  i had strong physical sensations of anxiety such as a &quot;knot in my stomach&quot; and hot flushes (can&#039;t be menopause because i&#039;m a guy).  also buspar helps me control my thoughts that some terrible event is just around the corner and i&#039;ve got to do something to prepare for this unknown event.  i&#039;ve not had any side effects."
