Hey guys ,

I'm a 25 year old male who has dealt with anxiety since I was around 16. My biggest source of anxiety is my nervous facial tics I get when in certain situations. It happened once very badly in front of people and since then, I'm terrified it'll happen again, causing anxiety, and basically doing this to myself now. 

Anyway, I've tried multiple SSRI's over the years and they all killed my sex drive and or made me gain weight. I decided to try Buspar after hearing of it's nearly 0 side effects. I've been on it for roughly 3 months now and have titrated up to 15mg twice daily. 

Since beginning this I've noticed a few things. First, I have crazy dreams now and since being on the 15mg, my sleep isn't as great anymore. I also notice I have trouble concentrating now and shortly after taking it, I get a little dizzy. I've also noticed my anxiety has actually become slightly worse... Like in the situations where my anxiety arises it happens more frequently. I also feel like I'm more jumpy and slower to understand things. Definitely no side effects to sex drive though or weight. 

I'm curious how others have felt on this medication.
