"i&#039;ve been taking buspar in differing doses on and off for over a year. i was prescribed it and 0.5mg xanax for severe anxiety and panic attacks. taken together it was helping only couldn&#039;t function or take care of my daughter while taking both. since moving to another state i stopped taking the xanax and then got pregnant so can&#039;t take it anyways. my anxiety and panic issues got better after moving to the new state. but getting pregnant again my anxiety came back . i was started on a slightly lower dose then was taking before and it was too much for me so my ob and i decided on a lower dose but i upped it due to not being helpful i will be upping again and hopefully it helps... its a good medication if the right dose."
