"i&#039;ve suffered anxiety since i was a teenager. found out my mum had cancer in fall, anxiety went from mild to severe. it got to the point where i couldn&#039;t go a day without some sort of attack. i was miserable, enough for my husband to notice and demand i go to the doctor. didn&#039;t want to be put on anything addictive, was prescribed buspar. 10 mg.  i take as needed, sometimes only 5 mg. it works miracles for me. my only complaint is that sometimes, i&#039;ll get these brain shocks, or moments of vertigo. i don&#039;t drive while on it. but other than that, i&#039;m glad that i can be there for my mum without having a breakdown."
