"i&#039;ve been prescribed xanax for 5-6 years because i told my doctor i was on the suboxone program for about 6 months. once he knew he took me off xanax and prescribed me buspar. buspar didn&#039;t work for me. it made me feel like the room was spinning, stomach pains, legs like jello, and couldn&#039;t sleep right. my personal opinion was i was fine on xanax, but since my doctor switched me to buspar, all my panic attacks/anxiety got worse and caused my depression to get worse. this medicine did not work for me."
