"i have recurring bouts with severe anxiety.  six weeks ago, i was put on 30 mg&#039;s of buspar to be taken in the morning and at night.  i got &quot;brain zaps&quot; (similar to paxil withdrawal) and nausea lasting about an hour after i took the medication.  true to most other medicines for anxiety, i felt as though overall, my level of anxiety increased over the first 2 weeks although i would have periods where i was not anxious.  after 2 weeks the dr raised my dose to 60 mg&#039;s. i found it best to take 4 times a day because i definitely feel it wear off. while this has taken my overall anxiety from a 9 to a 7, it is still not enough."
