"prescribed buspar for anxiety and panic disorder.  this medicine seems to be a much better option for me than the ssri drugs.  the side effects experienced are dizziness, tingling in the fingertips, vivid dreams and the occasional stomach ache.  been taking 5mg, 5 times a day. i do also compliment the medicine with the occasional 0.25mg xanax when needed.  after 3 weeks i do notice a big difference in the amounts of anxiety and a elimination of symptoms, which used to work their way to the panic stage. so far between these medicines, daily exercise, self education, and therapy i seem to be making some progress. i would recommend giving it a try."
