Hello

Ive been taking Buspar for a week now.

OMG, I feel so bad.  ive got a bad tummy and feel 20 times more anxious than ever.

My psychiatrist said it takes about 4 weeks to feel better if it works but after one week i feel terrible.

    Hi

    I had to stop taking it.

    It gave me pins and needles and a numb foot and lower leg - made my anxiety much worse.

    But don't forget - everyone is different.

    My anxiety heightened, but after about a month, got better.  I just couldn#t put up with the physical side effects.  

    I do remember I had a bad tummy too, but it went.

    Keep with it if you can, it may work for you xx
