"started taking buspar 15mg 2 times a day about a month ago and i will be honest, at first i hated it! i almost quit taking it! the first week it seemed as if it was making my anxiety worse. my chest was pounding and could not sleep at all! i decided to stick with it and i&#039;m glad i did because all of that is gone now. i mainly had issues with social phobia, and i have noticed i am getting better in social situations. the only thing is every now and then i feel a little dizzy for about 20 minutes after taking it but that&#039;s it! it doesn&#039;t take anxiety away, but helps you deal with it and better rationalize things."
