"i was prescribed buspirone for my generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder (as well as clonazepam) three doses a day; in the afternoon only a dose of buspirone. the first three weeks were hard, as it took that long to get into my system. once it kicked in, however, i noticed a huge difference. i felt more balanced, and less likely to have a panic attack. once i took a dose it took effect in half-hour. it does well on it&#039;s own to control the anxiety. i took a couple stars off because the side effects are true to the label. they aren&#039;t so severe after years of taking it, but the dizziness is strong. i feel like my body will just fall one way or the other, and it&#039;s hard to gather strength. now i take only one dose a day, and it works just as well."
