"i&#039;ve had social anxiety since high school and was put on zoloft, which never worked.  i eventually developed panic attacks when i was 26.  i&#039;ve tried xanax for a few days after i was diagnosed and hated it.  was put on celexa 20mg and did not see any improvement after a year. i learned to self manage and handle my anxiety attacks and knew that i wasn&#039;t going to die.  i went for a few years like this until i got medical insurance.  i went to the dr. after reading reviews on buspirone and asked if she thought it&#039;d help with my anxiety. i took 7.5 twice a day for the first 2 weeks and noticed almost immediate (about 30 mins) relief.  yes it does make you dizzy for a few weeks but nothing you can&#039;t handle.  give it 6 wks and you&#039;ll love it!"
