I have major depression and general anxiety disorder. I have been on pristiq 100mg and Abilify 2mg. I was just put on buspar 15mg? Is this good? Thoughts?

What are some initial side effects of buspar?

For me, Buspar was mild with rather limited side effects. It sounds like you are on a good combo. Good Luck,

Well I have not slept good the past 2 days and today I started taking the buspar but it seems to be making me more calm, maybe a little irritable? But that's I bet because of lack of sleep. I was wondering what side effects to expect?

I'm on Buspar for GAD, and it does make me calmer. On day 1 I had dizziness but it went away after I ate, so now I take my 3 doses daily on a full rather than empty stomach. I have no other side effects.

Good luck!

I had a side affect of a seizure after 1 1/2 weeks of buspar.

I take 15mg 3x a day and it works well for overall anxiety. However if I have a sudden onset panic attack, the only thing that helps is Xanax. Just make sure you don't stop taking it cold turkey. I ran out once and it was a horrible feeling. All in all, it has really helped.
Good luck
