My tabs. are 10mg. I started at 20mg. (divided into two doses) I currently take 10mg, 4 times a day. I've been on Buspar for about 2 years. It's the best anti-anxiety med. I've ever taken, and helps ease O.C.D., too. For sleep, I take a prescription sleeping pill.
My symptoms? I'm pretty bad still. I haven't been to a movie or a mall in years. Even going outdoors spooks me. I
don't drive anymore--fear. I don't take buses. I stopped going to University. Nightmares. The palipatations...sweating...literally "blanking out" or being
"paralyzed" with fear...feeling so "panicked" that I can barely remember my name or speak...even the quietest sounds are amplified...it's a kind of feeling of being frozen...not being able to breathe. I'm still ultra-social phobic...I won't even go to a family function...I work out of my home...I have certain visual/audio triggers due some past issues, and then there are the IBS parallel issues, the gut response factor you might call it, D, I know I feel alot of things in my gut, something scaring the crap out of me, it sometimes is as silly as the lighting, or a smell that I cannot name...I've tried NLP,
Hypnosis, but to no avail--one of those resistant minds, I suppose. Cognitive therapy has helped to some degree.
Enough rambling. Buspar helps me focus enough to get things done with a degree of serentity/peace of mind I haven't known in what seems like forever. It really takes the edge off, the sting, the bite, whatever. Baby steps.
Rescue Remedy is a great aromatherapy oil, incidentally.
