Quit Buspar
I have general anxiety and decided to give bupar a try. It was the first anxiety medication I have ever taken. I started out on 7.5mg twice a day for a month. I noticed a little improvement but it seemed like it wore off and wasn't enough.
I was bumped up to 15mg twice a day and that second month was bad. I had a hard time sleeping and my anxiety was through the roof. I kept taking it thinking it takes time but I was Jolting awake. The paramedics had to come one night because I woke up with such a fast heart rate and had trouble catching my breath.
I stopped it cold turkey because I couldn't live like that anymore. The first 3 weeks I felt sick and had heart burn too. It's been 6 weeks but I still feel off but do feel much better. How long did it take you to feel normal? I guess you could say that I feel disassociated and not myself at times.
