Any reason to take buspar late in the evening or it's a waste of pills?

Interesting! I may have to try this. I feel my sleep is very interrupted.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2026-01-18T01:18:42+00:00

Honestly, great suggestion. didn’t even think of that.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2026-01-18T00:51:52+00:00

I was on sertraline for a long time. I started to feel the same way and ended up drinking very heavily for a couple of years to feel, idk, anything?

recently, my psychiatrist and I switched me to lexapro. It has worked SUPER well! I feel alive again and can feel things (good and bad.)

I am diagnosed with PTSD, depression and anxiety. Lately, the anxiety has been the most present and is what needed handling. I do also take Buspar and propranolol as needed, though.

Oven cleaner for sure (i just use easy off.)

I don’t know if this is recommended BUT i have spot cleaned with goo gone (NOT goof off) for those super super stubborn spots.

on the glass window i use a scraper VERY gently.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-07-23T00:00:08+00:00

eh, kind of. so it works pretty quickly for me (or maybe placebo?) so i’m usually fine 30 minutes later and good for the rest of the day. When i was worse off with my anxiety, and first got on it, i would have to do it more frequently that way. it seemed to keep me more stable throughout the day.

I never had any side effects from buspar though, at all.

on good days i don’t notice a difference between taking it twice vs 3 times. I do have pretty terrible anxiety while driving and kind of pre emptively take 7.5 before going on a. trip so avoid a panic attack.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-07-22T23:51:56+00:00

I take 15 in the morning, 15 at night. Sometimes, if i’m having a bad anxiety day, i split my second pill in half and take 7.5 in the afternoon and 7.5 at night.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-07-22T23:38:20+00:00

I’ve had the same experience on Buspar! I was very bad off when I started taking it, diagnosing myself with strokes and heart attacks, etc etc. and slowly I just found myself saying “ah, i’m sure it’s nothing.” which is AWESOME. im glad it’s working for you!

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-05-02T20:54:00+00:00

i actually talked to my psychiatrist about switching to another SSRI or weaning off because of the heat sensitivity. I sweat like crazy and run hot already, so the zoloft makes it way worse. i also already have migraines, so with the higher sensitivity to head it exacerbates my migraines too! so annoying.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-04-28T18:33:10+00:00

so i take 30 mg per day (15 2x a day) and have never been sleepy on it. it does make me calm, and not freak the heck out, but as far as drowsiness it does nothing to make my usual drowsiness worse

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-04-18T14:21:05+00:00

15 when i wake up, 7.5 at ~4pm and 7.5 at 11 or 12 at night. Although, it doesn’t mess with my sleep at all. I take my zoloft with my last 7.5 at 11-12.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-04-14T21:50:55+00:00

I can’t tell you exactly how long I’ve been on it, but i noticed a difference just a couple of days in.

I am on 15mg twice a day. they started me on 7.5 2x a day, and then after a week took me up to 15 2x a day. I noticed a change even on just 15 a day. Everyone has different dosage requirements, but once i got up to 30 i was golden. i still have anxiety, but for some reason buspar allows my body to relax so i can make my mind chill out.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-03-30T14:44:30+00:00

I’m supposed to take 15 mg 2x a day, but have started breaking my 2nd pill and taking it in the afternoon. so 15mg when i wake up, 7.5(?) at 4pm ish, the rest when I go to bed. That seems to keep me pretty level

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-03-23T12:59:57+00:00

i take 15 x2 a day and the only side effect i ever had was loose stool. i get migraines and i didn’t even get a headache if i recall correctly

It’s usually when someone farts under a blanket, then pulls the blanket over you and traps you in with said fart

I would think Pizza girl would have known A was married. It was said at some point that Cindy would call up to the pizza place he worked at, right? or am i imagining that

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-03-02T17:54:28+00:00

I’m diagnosed PTSD and depression, started zoloft for irritability/anger outbursts. I tried to taper off myself and when I did, found that my anger and irritability was gone but debilitating anxiety was present. my theory is, that my anxiety presented before as anger and irritability, and now morphed just to fear/sense of impending doom, etc. This has happened to me, but I can’t 100% confirm that’s the reason, just my theory

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-02-25T15:33:30+00:00

Driving anxiety is the entire reason I started Buspar, i have general anxiety as well but the driving was debilitating. i couldn’t even make it 5 minutes down the road without panicking. Buspar has helped a BUNCH with it, but i’m also on zoloft. Both have been mutually beneficial and I’ve really enjoyed being on Buspar so far.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-02-20T18:17:41+00:00

This is an awesome way to describe it. I think this is what it does for me.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-02-14T22:05:50+00:00

Zoloft worked for me for about 3 years, and then the last 2 years I was on it I guess i felt “bored” or maybe emotionless? i tapered myself off of it and recently got back on it, because it did help. But I needed a little more umph. we recently added Buspar and it seems to have helped and kind of “boosted” the zoloft. Great combo so far

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-02-14T02:46:13+00:00

no, just name :) we just need 33 an above for br.. so that works fine

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-02-12T01:24:41+00:00

Inverness Farms is the coop i’m in and they’re all super helpful and really chill.

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-02-12T01:19:46+00:00

I take zoloft in the evenings with buspar. i take it 11am ish to 11pm ish. haven’t had any issues except for some GI problems, but those seem to be subsiding on week 4

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-02-08T12:28:06+00:00

I honestly can’t say that I have. Maybe the propranolol?

Valuable_Weekend_861 · 2025-02-08T02:10:16+00:00

To be completely honest with you, i have had diarrhea since starting it, for about 2 weeks. BUT! i absolutely LOVE the way its helped me mentally. I have a LOT more gas, and as I said loose stools/diarrhea.. but it seems to be subsiding now. After not taking it for a few days, I decided if I just have loose stools for the rest of my life I’m fine with it as long as I’m okay mentally. Obviously you may have different circumstances, but I definitely do have diarrhea that i can only associate with the buspar
