"last month my obsessive compulsive disorder got over whelming with images, thoughts , and i found myself not eating and not sleeping. i begged for help and got put on buspirone on the 2nd of july and i got told it should help reduce anxiety and help me sleep as it was the anxiety causing the insomnia. i was prescribed 5mg twice a day. its been 3 and a half weeks and my anxiety is so much calmer and i now have slept well ever since then. it did take about a week and half for effect to kick in however i now take 5mg 3 times a day as twice a day was a bit weak , overall very good however takes time to kick in."
