I'm strugling

I decided to go off a 75mcg Fentanyl patch one month ago.  Since that time I have developed severe anxiete.  Can't sleep, have the shakes, jitters, loss of concentration.  My doc prescribed Buspar..does anyone have experience with this  drug.  The pain mgt doc I was seeing gave me Cymbalta and that seemed to make me worse.  Does Buspar work quickly?  I read on their web site that this particular drug is only to be taken for 3-4 weeks.  Thanks in advance for any help.

I usually agree with EVERYTHING that Ryan says and I appreciate all the free advice and concern...but this time I beg to differ.....

I LOVE my buspar...but I do take it in conjuction with my Paxil..It has helped me so much with my anxiety symptoms....(the shakes, nausea, etc)....

I know that Buspar does nothing alone, but it does help when it is in conjunction with an ssri.

Just my two cents!

BTW  I have been on it 6 years now....
