In reply to Buspar: Vertigo, posted by Zillhouse on May 28, 2009, at 22:50:27
I've been taking 30 mg a day of buspar for about 3 months. I have never noticed any side effects from it ever, except a little brain shock feeling about 10 minutes after I take it; it goes away in about 1/2 hr.
I think it has been helpful for me, as long as I dont' have too many stressors. I've had some rebounds of anxiety though, real bad last week.
But I really think it's had a positive effect on my mood-besides this past week, I have probably only felt a bit 'down' just a couple of days over the past 1-2 months, and have dealt with a lot of stress lately. If I have to get something else for anxiety, I think I want to keep the buspirone. It's impossible to say what my anxiety would be like w/o it though, since I've gone off meds for months at a time with no symtpoms in the past. I really like buspirone, from how I perceive it's helped me. The only way I'd know for sure would be to quit taking it and for now, I see no reason to.
