I suffer from severe anxiety and have used lots of non-med strategies which just have not been enough. Klonopin works great but did not like tht it was addictive and went through the withdrawals of that and didnt want to have to do that again. Pdoc gave me clonodine, a blood pressure med, and that worked some, but not enough.

Buspar is an antianxiety med that is not a benzo, thus not addicting, and works fabulous for me. It took like 2 weeks to kick in, for the first week or so made me pretty dizzy the first hour or so after I took it, but now I am doing great. I take 45 mg.

Good luck.
