"i had depression for years and in that last 8 months that turned into anxiety that gave severe shoulder and abdominal pain , sweaty palms and pounding heart , ruined my career and my social life and affected my decision making . finally after trying to fight it with out using medication i had to go see a doctor because i couldn&#039;t take it anymore , doctor gave me buspirone and recomanded 3x 5mg a day . i started with 1 5mg every 24 hours and i can tell a difference , i am calm and i sleep better . the physical pain is almost gone which i assume was happening due to surge of my stress hormones which are now under control . it has been 3 days of peace and quite and hope it stays this way ."
