"i started buspar about 7 months ago and after almost 2 weeks stopped taking it due to it giving me the shakes, but my worry and anxiety continued. i tried 5-htp and that didn&#039;t work, so about a month ago my prescription was still there and i started taking buspar again, and i&#039;m on 7.5 mg twice a day and i feel a big difference, i think the key is to take it like its prescribed. no side effects since i have started taking it again."
