"i&#039;ve got generalized anxiety disorder. buspar turns off the worrying like a switch. the only downside was the first dose; 15mg was too much. i had weird side effects; if i looked at a light source, i&#039;d feel unspeakably strange pulses of something that felt like electricity go though my body. i also got motion sick and vomited after the first dose. luckily this only happened once.

after reducing the dose to 5mg (q.i.d.), i had no more side effects.

my advice to the uninitiated would be to start with a small dose and titrate upwards to avoid any surprises."
