"diagnosed with having anxiety, depression, and ptsd (raped year prior and recently lost my husband while 6m pregnant). i take 10mg 2x daily. the problems i have been facing have eased up significantly. at first i had no side effects so it was a win-win. now after taking it for 3 months i have many side effects and i am going to stop taking it. the side effects i have been experiencing are headache, weak feeling, intense sugar cravings, hair loss, slow response, extreme anger, weight gain. i was losing weight after my pregnancy, exercising, felt very healthy. now on buspar i have gained weight in odd places like my face. i find myself wanting to binge eat which i hardly even did while pregnant. slowness and extreme anger were deal breakers."
