anxiety
"I had a lot of stomach issues - IBS-D.  I suspected it might be due to anxiety.



Buspirone has made a huge difference.  I can live a normal life without being in fear of the stomach issues coming up at the most inconvenient times.  I feel comfortable eating out and going to people's houses.  I used to take four immodium a day to control the stomach issues.  Now, I rarely take it.  Buspirone also had a very gradual effect...things kept getting better. I had to recently reduce the dose a bit as I'd get dizzy after taking it but it still works.



Doctors had insisted that I try antidepressants first.  The side effects (several brands and low doses) were awful and the medications didn't help."
