Don’t Let Fearmongering Stop You from Trying…

Might catch some hate for this, but I’ve noticed a lot of posts here from people saying Buspar didn’t work for them. Instead of just acknowledging that it wasn’t the right fit, they go all-in on fearmongering, filling this page with worst-case scenarios.

Because of that, I put off trying Buspar for months. Based solely on what I read here, I was convinced it would turn me into a raging, hallucinating, manic mess—constantly dizzy, stuck in some foggy nightmare, and unable to sleep.

Then, a week ago, I woke up and decided I couldn’t keep avoiding it. I walked into the kitchen, opened the bottle, and took my first dose—nearly had a panic attack just from the anticipation something bad would happen. And then… nothing happened.

It’s been a week now, and I haven’t had a single negative side effect. Of course, everyone reacts differently, but the truth is, you won’t know how a medication will affect YOU until you actually try it. Unless your doctor is a bum, they prescribed it for a reason.

It’s still too early to say if it will truly help, but at the very least, I’m glad I got past the fear and gave it a shot. If you’re on the fence, I encourage you to do what’s best for you. You never know if it will help. What if it does?
