I was just put on BuSpar?

Question

I was on Klonopin for a while but needed something that was an long term anxitey drug. Anyone take BuSpar before? Does it help?

Answer 1

Buspar is not recommended for long-term usage. I do not know anyone who has taken this drug for longer than a few days because of unpleasant side effects. Personally, I took it for less than a week and experienced vertigo that made it unsafe to drive for most of the day. But my reaction may have been exacerbated by other (legal) drugs I was taking at the same time for a chronic pain situation, among others.

Here is a link to information about the drug itself:
