"I have been on buspirone 15 mg for over 5 years. I am also taking Forfivo XL. My sex life is over. My libido is not the issue. I can go. The problem is, I cannot ever, ever finish. It sucks on my side. No orgasm for me. It makes you just not want to have sex anymore."

"Some very good advice stay off a motorcycle if you're taking BuSpar because you will not be yourself riding your bike. It's very dangerous to take this drug if you're riding a motorcycle starting and stopping but not steady riding on the highway. It's a strange feeling but this drug makes you feel very unsafe small amount of vertigo that you really don't notice but it is there. Take my advice if you were on this drug stay off of a motorcycle. You might be safer on a bicycle. I noticed these symptoms when I was on it and they went away when I taking it. It's in a different class of benzodiazepines and works a lot different. You will be fine in a car driving but stay off of a cycle just some good advice. I'm talking about somebody that rides a motorcycle that is riding very normal. Take my advice you won't be sorry."

"I was prescribed this because Lexapro, Celexa, and Prozac all made sex life unpleasant, and I was not able to keep an erection or able to finish. It has been two weeks, and everything is back to normal, if not better. This stuff for me has been a miracle, and it seems to help keep me in the mood when before it was dreadful."

"Was taking Wellbutrin and Lexapro for depression and anxiety. I was never in the mood or able to reach climax. I stopped the Lexapro hoping Wellbutrin would be good enough for both anxiety and depression. I was horny all the time. I felt every tingle and could orgasm in minutes but my anxiety was causing me tons of issues with my love life and my job so I was prescribed 5mg twice daily of Buspar. After two weeks of taking it, I was anxiety free but I was back to being chemically castrated. No sex drive and so difficult to have an orgasm."

BuSpar (buspirone) "I found that BuSpar helped quite a bit in allowing me to orgasm. It was also quite useful in partially abating teeth grinding, which I get in relation to SSRIs."

BuSpar (buspirone) "I've been taking 15mg of BuSpar for 1 month now. It started working around week 3. I can gratefully say that it is working for the sexual side effects. This medication is a lifesaver!"

"Trying to get off this drug caused brain zaps, extreme dizziness, diminished libido, and panic which caused me to get back on the original dose. I still don't fully understand what it does."

"Stay away for Buspirone. Shortly after the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak, due to the anxiety I had a problem reaching climax so the doctor put me on Buspirone. The first night that I took it I still woke up with erections, but after 4 weeks of being on Buspirone I had less interest in sex and my erections were limp and weak. It's now 4 months later and I don't remember what an erection felt or looked like other than the 2 days I decided to not take Buspirone a few weeks ago."
