Has anyone had excessive sweating and dry mouth from Busporine?

Been on Buspar 7.5 mg twice a day for past two weeks. I now have excessive sweating and extremely dry mouth. Will this go away?

Who knows?  Many meds cause these symptoms.  Whether they go away depends on the individual.  Whether you get them or not often does as well.  Only time will tell, but my own experience is, these two symptoms are ones that in my case did not go away.  Others probably have had other experiences.  Dry mouth is particularly associated with certain meds and when you get it it usually sticks around.  Sweating is common with meds that affect serotonin, but more with some than others.  Keep a close eye on this particular med -- it hasn't got a very good track record for doing anything, and is mostly used nowadays as an adjunct to an antidepressant.  So if it doesn't work, the side effects aren't worth it.  If it does, they can be much more tolerable, and you then try to find ways to deal with them.  When I took an antidepressant known to cause sweating, I took a lot of short showers.  There are things available to take nowadays that make dry mouth more tolerable, but they don't actually compensate for what is missing, which is saliva, and without it you can have teeth problems and other things that the substitutes don't compensate for.  Keep that in mind, by making sure this works for you.  If it doesn't, don't stick with it since these problems aren't pleasant and dry mouth can cause other problems.  But again, if it works really well and your life gets a whole lot better, you won't mind as much.
