"i have never written a drug review but am now in hope of helping those who feel as apprehensive as i do about meds. i suffer from anxiety and was prescribed buspar and out of fear didn&#039;t try it for 4 mos. by request i was given the lowest dose, 5 mg bid. one day i got up the nerve to try it after speaking with 2 pharmacist getting the ok to safely break it down. i broke it into eights, which was around 62mg, not enough to do anything but they were sympathetic to my reluctance, i went up an 8th every couple of days. i am now on 7.5 bid. i had no side effects minus slight tiredness, i attribute the easy transition to slowly going on it. i have been on it 3 weeks now, i can&#039;t tell a huge difference so i am hoping more time is what in needed."
