Thank you Beth. Today is my first day taking it (actually took the first dose last night, and it is prescribed 2x per day). This morning, I felt *almost* dizzy, but not quite. Then, I started to feel more normal after a couple of hours. I can actually feel a bit of the calming effect and that it is helping a bit.
The APN also called in clonazepam as well, and I was unaware she was going to do that and only discovered it when I received a notification on my phone that the prescription was ready. My regular pdoc said she would not want me on both, but at least I have a prescription of it in case I have full on panic? I'm only going to use that prescription for emergencies and stick with busar as much as possible.
Only time will tell, but I feel positive about the buspar so far.
