"have had anxiety for many years, have tried numerous meds and none worked for long. because of numerous surgeries i have a high drug tolerance and sometimes weird reactions. after taking cymbalta for 3 years the excessive sweating just became too much, i am now on lexapro and was using clonazapan when an attack would start,concerned about addiction to clonazapan my doctor suggested buspar. i started with 7.5 twice a day did not feel much until starting the third week then 10mg 3xs a day. did have side effects but was encouraged to wait 4wks, so glad i did. 1st time in years and i mean years, i feel like the old me, sleep through the night, no side effects. i encourage you to wait and see before you give up on it, for me well worth it."
