Hi,

I was on Buspar 5mg twice daily in 1995.

But the Psychiatrist at that time also prescribed me with Xanax 0.5, taken as needed, and imipramine 10mg twice a day.

Once I took my 1st dose of Buspar, i developed pin and needles like through out all my skin, and got stomach pain.
I was on it only for 2 days, and i told the psychiatrist about the side effects and he stopped it.

( And Buspar, here, in Australia, is not covered by PBS, unlike most antidepressants and antianxieties.)

And that was my experienced with buspar, but we all react differently even to the same medication.

i hope this info is useful.

kind regards,
dave
