Buspirone works very well for some and not at all for many, and then only for GAD and maybe social anxiety. But as per my earlier post, I don't think it was prescribed to directly affect your anxiety levels, but to boost citalopram.
Does it have side effects when you first start taking it?
Usually only mild ones. Otoh, it could ease some SSRI side-effects.
