Buspirone and job interview
Hi I'm new here and have a question I wonder if anyone can help me with.
I am taking Buspirone for anxiety and have a job interview next week. I would really like to get the job as I'm being made redundant from my old one so feel under pressure anyway.
Aside from worrying myself half to death about the interview (feel sick all the time and shaky just thinking about it), a whole new worry has now occurred to me.
I will have to put on the medical form that I am taking buspirone and that my last GP visit was for chronic anxiety - they may even want to see my medical records. My question is... will they not want to employ me because of this?
Sorry for the long post - if anyone can help with this I would really appreciate it.

employers do discriminate.if they have 50 applications for 1 post,then why take a risk on someone with a history of mental health problems.im sure all of us on here know that having mental health issues doesnt necessarily affect your ability to do the job,but its a chance employers arent willing to take.will be some exceptions,but i have experienced discrimination alot.same with convictions,shouldnt be discriminated against but try finding an employer willing to run the risk.
