How long have you been on it? When I first went on it, I got very weak in the legs after a dose. It was hard to walk, I was all staggery. After a couple of months, this had really toned down. Maybe I would just have 10 minutes or so of weakness in my legs but I didn't stagger anymore. This med stopped working for me after a while, and the lower limb thing was the last effect to remain. Buspar never affected my ability to talk, though.

I had similar side effects on buspar, I felt so weird on it and had to get changed to something else.

not sure if this helps, but my psychiatrist refers to BuSpar as:

"the drug most likely to make my patients call me and complain"

he recommended I avoid it

It goes away after a short while of taking it regularly and also dosage dependant.

Compared to some of the regularly proscribed benzos out there Buspar is pretty light weight.
