Hi, Karen! Nice to see you. Things are pretty quiet some weekends, so I'm not sure how many responses you'll get. I'll add my 2 cents:) I tried the buspar & it did not work for me. I have panic disorder with agoraphobia, though I haven't been agoraphobic for several years now. As a nurse, I have given it to anxious folks, including the elderly & have seen good effects. All meds affect each of us differently.
I scared up some back posts that might be of interest to you. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan
Hi, I had been taking Buspar for almost a year, during that time I did find it was helpful. Like any other medication though, you and your doctor may have to experiment to find what is right for you. Good luck
