Hello, I've been having horrible adrenaline rushes that I'm assuming are anxiety since having a...

I'm not sure how to answer directly to the people that answered my question, so I figured I'd do it this way!! Thanks so much for your input! I really appreciate it!

10mg a day is a pretty low dose. You likely won’t feel a change until your dosage increases, which your prescriber should have you increase in steps over the next few weeks/months. When I reached a dosage of 45mg a day, this medication changed my life for the better. Hang in there, anxiety is a tough beast to slay.

I started on 5mg 2 x day then had mine increased about 3-4 weeks later to 10mg 2 x day. Now three weeks later I am starting on 10mg 3 times daily tomorrow since I still feel anxious but has been relieved a lot . Mine is from a TBI from a car accident. Luckily, I haven't had any reactions. Ask your doctor to maybe increase the dosage. I am so glad this is working for my severe anxiety.

Hi, bubblebunny!
It seems counterintuitive but as with many anxiolytic medications increased anxiety can be a potential temporary side effect lasting just days to a week or two. It's caused by your metabolism adjusting to the drug which affects brain neurotransmitters and reception sites.
Buspirone has worked fantastically for me for over 4 years but I gather from the reviews that it is about 50% effective... half of users do very well but half don't feel major improvement. Since I've had no significant side effects from it I don't hesitate to recommend at least giving it a good try.
Best regards and I hope you're feeling better quickly now.
