I started the Buspar after a lot of thought & discussion over 2 sessions with my pdoc-I had a terrible experience with psych meds in the past which were prescribed by a regular MD. I have multiple issues (as you can see ) & currently I take Prozac, Depakote & Buspar with Propranolol & Ambien as needed. I'm doing really well so far & see a tdoc weekly. If you're not comfortable taking it then I would recommend chatting up your pdoc or pharmacist & there are many online med forums where people rate their symptoms & how the meds affect them. Hope that helps
