BUSPIRONE (BUSPAR) - PHARMACIST REVIEW - #42 

BuSpar is alright, I took it to treat panic attacks and racing thoughts... it takes about 10 days to feel some mild anxiety relief. It’s more of a mild drowsy-tension relief and it does help with calming down.

My therapist recommend this drug to me. Said it was less intense than Zoloft type anti depressants. I have never been a fan of these types of meds because they make me feel like a zombie. He said this would not do that.

I been on Buspar for a year and I think its working just fine. Came off Ativan. And its still doing fine. By the way you are handsome haha. Thanks

My experience wasn't good, unfortunately; it was great for the first 2 years (it's 3 years now) but then I started feeling severely depressed to the point where I couldn't enjoy or take pleasure in anything and gave me horrible insomnia that had me up all night a lot of nights, and my moods have been all over the place. I just got off of it a few days ago, and my anxiety went through the roof for 2 days and it settled down fortunately, but my heart is still pounding really hard and it's uncomfortable :(

I have been taking it for about 5 years now I honestly thought I was starting to go crazy but it was just anxiety. Works 👍

How r u now

Eventually aha

I'm happy to hear that, Jenn! It took me a while to find the right medication for bipolar disorder as well. It's a tough illness. Thanks for sharing this!

How are you now?

Same here!!! I’m on the same stuff and am the same way and it’s all helped me to feel like myself. I’m the most sane I’ve ever been

Yo just got on buspirone 2 weeks ago and I'm on Lamotrigine 150mg

Jenn, you mean 10 mg twice daily = 20mg per day or 10mg total, divided in two doses of 5 mg each?

hi there. can u drink alcohol with it ? and how much time did it take to kick in ?

You probably could have done it on your own, but it's pretty hard! I'm glad that your better! Just know your not alone in this thing called Life! You can laugh,but I'm telling you that you should work on a relationship with Jesus! That will do more for you than any pill can!

Piscean Dreams amen

@@GamingMoose21 Amen

@@hayriirdal6237 did u ever drink on it?

That's great news! Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear it's helping.

How’d it go?

same shit, so i stopped and it took a WEEK for the nausea to go away. I just started taking b-complex, chamomile and magnesium glycinate, seems to be much better.

is it better than xanax? currently i have 15 mg bars (5 bars total) of buspar much do i need to take to feel immediate relief

Does this mess with sexual life?

🤣

ME TOO 😂😂 These comments are hilarious..

Right?!

Yeah most say take as needed but taking it everyday I heard works

I hear this drug drops your heart rate down to a dangerous level. What was your experience ?

isn't that with benzodiazepines?

@@DenisArrudaFacchin no. Antihistamine

How old our you?? I hate seeing people think they need a bunch of pills just to function and be there self! I scraped the bottom of the barrel of depression and anxiety.. Just getting up to brush my teeth was like climbing a mountain,or even making a sandwich..It was like a wave that I had to ride and i thought it would never take me back to shore. All these pills our going to possibly make it worse in the long run.. It's so sad to see a generation need pills so much because of how Fu*ked up everything is.. I just want you to know that I know what your going through.. It really sucks and at times it feels like this is the person you are, and you can't be yourself without a crutch! I drank heavily and took Xanax when I could.. I'm being serious when I say that you should really try and become Spiritual and start talking to Jesus.. You may laugh,and that's what I would have done if someone said that to me. You will never know peace in this world until you try it.. My words are true,and people like you and me our actually more stronger then our minds are being lead to believe! I'm not even trying to come at you the wrong way either and I hope it don't come off like I'm attacking you.. Some times we think we need all this outside help from people who don't even care about anything besides money and there own personal gain.. I actually came to own my depression but it still gets hard.. I realized that I was exactly where God wanted me,and that there were no mistakes! God bless you on your journey and I hope things get easier for you! Much love to you!

@@pisceandreams5893 thanks. I'm in my early 30s. I talk and pray to God as well but I need more help to get myself going just how it is right now.

@@krisd6811 yeah,sounds just like me right now! Im getting what your saying, BELIEVE ME..I need to turn away from these stupid petty sins and repent in full... I said something to my brother the other day that just came out of my mouth without really thinking about,and it had him saying wow that is absolutely true! I said look how backwards people can become,I said it seems like people actually make them selves work harder to sin and fight tooth and nail just commit one sin when it's actually easier to just repent! One day I was thinking about just going in the woods and fasting and repenting and praying.. At times in my life I found myself fighting tooth and nail and running missions just to sin,when its free to just repent and pray! But I'm probably fighting the same battle as you,and I have scraped the bottom of the depression barrel and I'm not just saying that.. I actually felt myself go absolutely nuts and crazy one day and said to myself,wow this is what it's like to go crazy.. brushing my teeth was like climbing a mountain and all my muscles were in pain constantly and I couldn't sleep for months! It made me stronger but I wouldn't wish it on anyone.. I felt as if I was going nuts and there was nothing I could do,and that I would forever have to live like a depressed vegetable who hated the day time and couldn't leave his room! It's was like a wave of anxiety and depression that I just kept riding,and I thought it would never get better! All I could do was hope to get drunk enough to stay stable and get some sleep.. I could share some horror stories but I won't,lol... I'm alot better now,but I still have plenty of repenting to do and I hope and pray we can both be free one day of our bullshit! This world will drive you crazier then you could imagine,unless you just simply lose all care and love! And that is what the enemy is trying to achieve,and as you can see people our becoming absolutely unstable in chaotic environment! But GOD BLESS YOU FRIEND AND TAKE CARE AS BEST AS YOU CAN EACH DAY!

Piscean Dreams dame here I’m 29 and try praying daily reading the word daily back in March and I would still get these attacks daily I keep losing my jobs to these panic attacks and it gets me angry when I know I should be still and keep believing have real faith and that’s prolly what I lack is not truly believing/having faith in what I read ⛪️🧎🏽‍♂️ just tired I can’t even leave the house now without having panic attacks daily now this month of July.

Thanks Melinda. I'm trying to strike a balance so healthcare professionals will find it useful as well. You definitely raise a good point so I'll have to put some thought into it. Thanks again for the advice!

I think he invokes people to learn more about the drugs they are taking. Like bruxism. I had to look that word up to realize he was talking about the grinding of teeth or jaw clenching. I think everyone benefits from not dumbing it down.

for real!! i feel like i just went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist just told me i couldnt get my refill and explained what it does but it makes no sense so you leave feeling more confused

​​@@DrugTalk don't remove your medical terms or scientific accuracy. Health professionals are Also in here .

I find clonazepam really helpful too. Haven't tried buspirone.

@@DrugTalk it’s alright I just started taking it but I took hydroxyzine before and I was sleeping 20 hours a day and my doctor told me it was a placebo 🥲 so I stopped taking it after a year or more of taking it, I would take it like 5 times a day and work and apparently it’s an anti-histamine so it just makes you tired so I don’t know why they kept me on it

It does but the best thing you can do is ignore racism and toxic people, we are all equal, love yourself, there always will be haters

@@samuelm.5752 I get judged by white people in person

I am truly sorry your going through a divorce ma'am :(

Okay

It did not give you no side effects??

how was your result? which dose did you use?

I wish you the best of luck with it!

how's it going Kerri??

and what dosage u are using?

I have physical symptoms too which is why I'm adding this. How is it going?!

Beep boop

@@DrugTalk Hahaha! Ayeee!

Lol

I hope it works well for you!

How did it work? I’m starting

SkinCareLuver ا

that's what im doing i took my first buspar today so how many do you take at a time and times of the day? if you dont mind me asking! :)

@@chelseypecina7916 20 mg but I split them up since they don't even last longer than 3-4 hours

Right?

are you serious?

@@napoleonewilson4849 Uh, yeah. Those are parts of anxiety.

Maybe because it's dopaminergic and noradrenergic at lower doses but at higher doses it relieves anxiety trough serotoninergic mechanisms

You're very welcome!

any update?

I actually came to the Comments section specifically to see if there are withdrawal horror stories and it's mostly people saying discontinuing it did nothing to them. I mean, every med affects people differently, but it looks from my cursory glance over quite a lot of Comments that withdrawal is not very common and most people speculate what it is is the original anxiety returning...

Omg, what does that mean?

@@natalie5667 it means you feel very disconnected to your body and reality. i have this but i just got prescribed buspar and very nervous to try it

Me 2, i took it for 5 days but it feels strange. i feel total disconect from me and the world. as im dead. i stopp it tommorrow

@@leighac9555 did you try it? How are you

I appreciate the kind comment!

All the best with it!

@@DrugTalk thanks brother! Take care

Smiles are #1!

I really do hope it works well for you. Let me know if you get a chance!

I’m in the same boat itskyler I suddenly developed panic attacks this year in January I use to smoke weed daily in small doses and never had panic attacks now I do and I’m scared senseless to take pills for my anxiety they prescribed me escitaloprám last year in March for depression and it gave me sick side effects always wanting to faint and constant nausea. Now this year in February I was prescribed busiprone & hydroxyzine I took only the hydroxyine and fell asleep immediately 20mins afterwards only to wake up from my nap with accelerated heart beat. Ever since then I haven’t tooken none of my medications and have been suffering severe panic attacks 1 or twice daily or every other day just depends on how I am. For the month of June I was good didn’t have panic attacks only severe anxiety but dang I just wish I could find a natural remedy pills only hurt you more than they do help.

any update?

how was your experience with buspirone, malanta? and which dose did you use?

i'm supposed to take 5mg 2 times a day and i also take 10 mg a day of valium im starting today on buspar

I saw 2 studies saying it was nearly as effective as methylphenidate to treat ADHD in childrens. I think it's interesting and should be looked into too bad pharmaceutical companies won't do it because it's patents expired.

you should confirm if you don't have psicotic issues like bipolar type 1 or schizophrenia. Meds agains paranoia include anti dopamine drugs

I wish I could do the same. They won't let me switch though because of my past with addictive medications. Mega sucks.

I'm sorry to hear that, Haylee. I hope your headaches resolve soon.

did the headaches ever go away for you? i’m fairly certain it was caused by the buspar.. i just started taking it and i’ve had a headache probably every day since then. just wondering if it got better!

Ive heard it takes about 3 weeks to see a difference. Im super scared of taking meds too. I have the meds sitting right there i know i need them but im freaking out to take them :(

@@vanessaflores1957 same I haven’t taking mine because I’m so scared !

@@breayareid6671 that’s how I am I hardly ever take the meds they just sit there because my anxiety is too high it’s a bad cycle lol

@@vanessaflores1957 did you decide to take buspirone

@@vanessaflores1957 I just prescribed them... if anyone on this thread has taken em and has a review of them. Please let me know Im an ex opiate user now using suboxone and asked my doc to give me something for anxiety that the opiates used to handle and this is what she gave me

Any chance you could comment on whether or not you've noticed any long-term side effects? Do your ears still ring?

You're very welcome!

Have you tried prozac?

NoName named Yep

What's the highest dosage you've had?

It's a side effect of the medicine that you're on, eventually it'll go away, and you'll start to notice the effects of the medicine

I'm sorry maybe lower the dosage and wait it out? Talk to your Dr. I'm on only 5mg. Good luck

Plus also run out of my pills and have like 100 of buspar

Thanks for the video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Nanackson Guardo Philosophy (search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for revealing the secret to get rid of panic attacks minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work colleague after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.

Lmao don't, you'll feel so sick

Thanks man 👊

any update?

@@leighac9555 I went down to 15mg a day and I'm doing perfect! I'm still having attacks, but my highs and lows are a lot less now!

@@enicholsfranklinuniversity oh wow thank you, should i try my 5mg and see how it works? i'm really nervous with trying new medicines.

​@@enicholsfranklinuniversity sorry. I didn't get it. you mean u were on 2x10mg per day, and it was not working well, than you REDUCeD, and it's better now with ''only'' 15mg per day?

@@DenisArrudaFacchin Yes, sometimes increases in medication aren't always beneficial. As a doctor, you should know that some anxiety medications have the side effect of more anxiety as well. This was also a year ago, though. I'm now on 25mg a day alongside 50mg of Atarax daily as well. My attacks are mostly non-existent now.

​@@sabrewolf7906YO WTF SAME HERE I get really hot too

@@smaronboruah1921 did the headaches and heat ever go away ?? i’m starting it now but i’m super scared because i’ve had terrible headaches so far and my body warms up scarily

@@azukibun any update?

@@leighac9555 It is truly frustrating and annoying how few people follow-up when they say something went South with their meds. Even 3 or 4 years later the Comments still help... When they're actually helpful, that is...

Did you or do you experience shortness of breath (like you have take deep breath but unable to take that deep breath) ?

For me i lost 25 pounds over one weekend.....

@@ABisexualGod Really? I dont want to lose weight since one of my struggles is gaining weight due to fast metabolism... Ive been using Mirtazapine and it has made me gain weight but I got prescribed Buspirone today and Im scared to switch in case I will become underweight

@@ABisexualGod You lost 25lbs over one weekend ? WTF? This drug causes that much weight loss over just a weekend ?

any update?

How is it going so far?

Update

Do you still have this, or did it go away? Kinda' scared of that kinda' stuff being long-term...

I last tried it a year ago.​@@POOKISTANAgain. roaring in me ears.

I don't see shortness of Breath on the list of symptoms you mentioned. Did you or do you experience shortness of breath (like you have take deep breath but unable to take that deep breath) ?

@@CelestialTrailblazer yes yes, forgot to mention that. It would literally give me panic attacks in the beginning.

@@CelestialTrailblazer do you have similar symptoms.

@@TheDjaypattalion Yes, very similar. Most of my symptoms are gone except for Shortness of Breath and Abnormal heart rate upon slight exertion. When you were on medication did you notice improvement with your shortness of breath ?

@@CelestialTrailblazer yes, the meds help. But don’t cure you. Time is the only cure. Everyone is different. I still feel my heart being weak at times some dizziness here and there and brain fog but shortness of breath is gone.
