"i&#039;ve been on buspirone for a week now and must say it that it is working great. it made me feel a little &quot;off&quot; for the first few days.i want to point out something i haven&#039;t seen in any of the other reviews. my anxiety was getting so bad that i was abusing my current prescriptions of lortab and xanax. i was taking 10-18 7.5mg lortab and 5-8 1mg xanax daily just to stay &quot;level&quot; and to sleep at night. the lortab was taking control and i knew i had to stop, but withdrawals are horrible. just in this week i&#039;m down to 1 lortab and 1 xanax a day. i&#039;m currently taking 10mg twice daily of buspirone. it has just about eliminated my dependence of lortab and xanax, however i do take lortab for pain. i urge anyone with similar situation to give it a chance."
