Buspar and it's side effects.
by thomj513, Apr 25, 2007 12:00AM
My Dr has put me on Buspar, actually the generic version. I'm currently on 20mg per day and should step-up to 30mg by this coming Saturday 4/28/07. I'm now experiencing more drowziness 45 minutes after taking the dose which goes away in 2 1/2 to 3 hours after taking. I'm also having a "buzzing" sensation as if flys were buzzing around my head and going from ear to ear. Other than these, I'm not having any other side-effects but these two side effects bother me; I've called my Dr and am awaiting a call back. Has anyone else experienced this or have past dealings with Buspar or it's generic? Thx in advance, Thom.

I have had similar side effects. Mine were a bit different though, I always got a weird feeling around my eyes whenever I would blink. (thats the best way I can explain it). Have you just started taking it? Usually the side-effects dissipate after a few days of continued use. Otherwise, I would recommend switching to an anti-depressant (Well-Butrin is good) and a PRN anti-anxiety medication like Ativan
hope this helps!
