Buspar for anexity?? Has anyone had any experience on this??

My doctor wants to put me on buspar for anexity and will have to take it twice a day, has anyone had any problems with this and i it addicting. The last thing I need is another addiction. I have been taking st johns wort starting a week ago and it seems to be helping so if buspar is addicting I think I'll stick to the st johns wort.

look the side effects up......some people actually may have increased anxiety with Buspar. I know somebody who used it for their WD's and it actually made things worse...also, if you are taking any sort of non-addicting sleep aid (trazadone)  or benedryl you should watch out....talk it all over with your doctor, be aware of potential side effects and drug interactions and you never know---it could work out great. Just do your homework....

Good Luck
