Anxiety
"I&#039;ve been on Buspar for two years. The drug does not &#039;kick in&#039; quickly, but once it does start working, one notices a nice, quiet calm. (It started working for me after ~ 30 days. )It&#039;s nothing like the benzodiazepines (thank goodness) and does not make me feel like a zombie with memory problems like Clonazepam (Klonopin) or Valium, etc. I use this in conjunction with Cymbalta and this combination helps me with both anxiety and depression. The only side effect I notice is that I might sweat a bit more. It is non-addictive, but as with any drug used long-term, one become physically dependent upon Buspar and one should follow a withdrawal schedule formulated by your PCP."
