Ive been on Buspar for 1 week and I still have to take Ativan .5 during the day. I was told the anxiousness would go away is this true?

Depends on who told you and if this is the prescribed path.

My Dr said the anxiousness would go away to continue taking it and that I could take the Ativan until it does. I've only been on it a week

You should start feeling better in a week or two or possibly sooner.. It's best to take it the same way all the time like always with food or without food and try to take it at the same time everyday. How long have you been on the ativan?
Hang in there..

Buspar is a great drug for some people. You have have to give it time to work tho. If it works for you you'll feel much better.
