"i have been taking buspirone for 6 months. before taking it i had mood swings, hot flashes, chronic anxiety and many other symptoms. i take 10mg 4 times a day. one first thing in the morning with food and the next at lunch then after work and before bed. i feel better than i have in 4 years.  i suggest it to anyone who was in bed and unable to work due to anxiety.  i now am focused and my mind is clear. no side effects at all."
