"i started taking buspar one week ago. i&#039;m up to 10 mg twice a day with a target of  30 mg twice daily. it definitely started to reduce my anxiety. i used to take a maoi antidepressant but the side effects were too much. i get a pulsing in my ears about half an hour after taking it. no other side effects yet. also i take serax as needed and i&#039;m hoping the buspar will eventually be enough. its a good drug so far. wished i had tried this years ago."
