how long is someone on buspar for anxiety for?

are their long term side effetcs on the liver/kidneys?

I was on it for anxiety, for like 3 months... Didn't work. If you are on designer drugs, I think it wouldnt hurt if you had your liver/kidneys/blood checked like once or twice a year. And, ask your doc, the who who's prescribed it.

Good luck!!!

buspar claims there are no long term effects?

airtas,

Welcome to the forums! Buspar is the mildest of all anxiety meds. My doctor joking calls it the World's Most Expensive Anxiety Placebo. It does work for some people. The side effects, if any, are extremely minimal in most cases. Those being a little dizzyness, nausea, disorientation. You should call your doctor if you experience any of these. I checked a few websites, and they said nothing about needing to have a blood workup done. Although I'm sure you can request one from your doctor if you have a concern. I wouldn't be concerned about any long term effects as this is an extremely mild medication. But as a disclaimer, I'm not a doctor, and have no background in medicine, and you should check anything I say with your doc.

I wish you luck with this! And again, welcome to the forums!
