In reply to buspar and ADD, posted by blondegirl47 on May 11, 2004, at 15:16:19
I had good effects from Buspar for years, 5-30 mg/day depending on how I was doing. I lost weight, if anything, but that was when my depression was worsening again. No headache, but YMMV. It is absorbed better if taken with some food, and grapefruit juice can enhance the effects (8 oz. real juice unsweetened) - my pharmacist says it is really quite safe despite the grapefruit warning they put on it now.
Funnily enough, unlike Charm, it made me MORE aggressive in traffic - but I didn't blow up at anyone after a stressful day anymore.
See my recent posting to the thread BUSPAR IS THE ANSWER (success 4 me) for more of my experience with this oddball med.

> My pdoc just started me on 7.5 mg of buspar, morning and night. He said, it might help my ADD as well as my anziety. It seemed to help me be less stressed right away. I have only been on it two days.

> I'd like to know other peoples reactions to it. Does it make you gain weight. My tummy was a little upset this afternoon. I ate a little before I took it. I also have a terrible headache, but that could be the weather front coming through. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. :)
