"so, i give this 7 out of 10. i&#039;d give it 10 out of 10, but the first week on this was really uncomfortable. i almost stopped using it. i started out at 10 mg buspar once a day and then after a week increased to 10 twice a day . the first week, i won&#039;t lie, was a doozy. my psych said that her patients either love it or hate it and it&#039;s pretty much 50/50 with little gray area. but since it&#039;s inexpensive, been around for a while, and is pretty safe, she likes that to be the first option when dealing with gad. fair. the first week, i was really, really dizzy. felt a bit fuzzy in the head. kind of jumpy. i had to pull over while driving and sit down for a bit. but after about two weeks. whoah. my life is changed. i&#039;m no longer so anxious!!"
