"i&#039;ve been on buspirone for many years. i also take lamotrigine (lamictil).  i have a less anxiety but a lot of social anxiety still. what i didn&#039;t connect, until reading a lot of fellow buspirone takers here, is that the faintness i get (feeling like i&#039;ll pass out if i don&#039;t sit) and also about every 3 months i get the dizzyness.  sometimes when i lay down in bed the ceiling looks like it&#039;s spinning wildly.  i always have to bring snacks with me everywhere for those times of faintness.  i thought they were just how i am normally.  i&#039;ll have to check with my doctor. i&#039;d have thought she&#039;d have brought that up before :(  i don&#039;t remember if i had the other symptoms of some here, with the headaches and nausea.  too long ago."
