"i have severe anxiety, panic attacks &amp; depression. am taking 60mg of cymbalta/day. until recently was taking ativan as needed for anxiety. when the anxiety wasn&#039;t getting better with the ativan, i was switched to buspar for my anxiety. started out taking 5mg 2x/day. recently increased to 10mg 2x/day. really helped my anxiety to where i haven&#039;t been as anxious. these last few months i have been experiencing panic attacks again. calling my doctor within the next week to see about increasing my dose. overall, i have had no side effects with this medication aside from drowsiness."
