I’ve struggled with insomnia for basically my whole life but for the past 6 months it’s been pretty much gone. I got prescribed buspar and saw that insomnia is a possible side effect and I was kinda just hoping it wouldn’t revive my sleep problems lol.

I started taking it yesterday and did have insomnia last night. As always, I slept for about 4 hours and then couldn’t sleep.

I take buspar 2 times a day and I saw some people online say that taking their second dose earlier in the day helped them sleep. I take my first dose right when I wake up at 7:30 and I was thinking of taking my second dose 8 hours later around 3:30 to see if that helps with insomnia (I took my second one 12 hours later yesterday). But my doctor didn’t say anything about how you should space out doses and I can’t find anything about it online, so I’m not sure if it’s okay to only space it out 8 hours, and my doctor can take a long time to respond which sucks lol.

Curious if anyone on buspar has struggled with insomnia and if it went away after your body adjusted or if it never went away. And also curious what times you take your doses and how long you space them out. Thanks in advance!
