Suggest treatment for anxiety
human
I just started buspirone this afternoon. The NP ordered 5mg twice a day. I took one 4. Hours ago and it reduced my anxiety for 3.5 hours. The anxiety has returned and is high and uncomfortable. Can I take another at this point. Should I request a doseage increase?

Hi,Rather than increasingvthe frequency of Buspirone it would be better to increase the dose. You can ask your practitioner about hiking the dose as it can be safely increased upto 30 mg twice a day in a step wise fashion within a week. Use some relaxation exercises also that would help you in long term. Best wishes
