I thought BuSpar was effective against anxiety...almost immediately. But at the doses it took to alleviate anxiety, I got symptoms similar to SSRI withdrawal (as I mentioned above). Also, my hands and lips went numb, and my hands started involuntarily clapping (not with one another, but my fingertips kept slapping the palm of the same hand). This freaked me out because the last time that happened to me, it turned out to be a precursor to a seizure. I stopped the BuSpar immediately. But, I have to admit, I wasn't having anxiety...even when I thought I was about to do the funky chicken.
