Hi everyone!

This past few months I have been experiencing just a general feeling of dread as well as panic attacks. I started seeing a therapist as well as a doctor who prescribed me Vistaril, which I take during a panic attack (it basically just calms me down and puts me to sleep,) and Buspar, which I’m supposed to take twice a day. I started out at 5mg last week, and tomorrow I up the dose to 10mg. I’m so nervous about doing this, as I have seen a lot of bad reviews of Buspar. I know it takes weeks to start working, and I don’t have a problem with that, but I also have really bad health anxiety and am scared of the potential side effects! Does anyone take Buspar, and how does it work for you?

Thank you! :-)
