I'm another Buspar fan. Honestly, I am having FUN for the first time in years. I feel less panic stricken just living in my own skin. I smile spontaneously. I don't hyper-organize (& re-organize, plan, obsess, map every single detail ritualistically, over & over & over again). I am more in the moment, finally. I re-interpret natural rushes of energy as excitement. I go to movies again! I don't worry about basic everyday activities like shopping, showering, sleeping, eating. Going to a family function doesn't drive me bananas.
The side-effects are as Maria mentioned. Mostly a little light-headedness, some fatigue & bizarre dreams. I do sweat more, too. I take 50 mg/day in 3 divided doses. Chewing/crushing the pills helps with any nausea/indigestion.
Kate, IBS-D.
