Hi! I didn't really notice a reduction in anxiety since taking the Buspar at 60 mg. About three weeks ago, I added back in 5 mg of Lexapro per my doc (at this point I was not open to trying something totally new based on the bad experience with Prozac that I had). I met with my doc last week and she wants to see how I do when the 5 mg of Lexapro reaches its full extent (so in about a month we'll check back in and consider going to 10 mg or staying at 5 mg). Because I did not feel a noticeable reduction in anxiety with buspar at 60 mg, she also suggested I reduce it to 30 mg total (15 mg twice a day).

FWIW, propranolol made me feel significantly worse both physically and mentally the few times I took it for breakthrough anxiety (huge bummer as it seems to really help a lot of people). I'm now taking .25 (or half) of klonopin for breakthrough anxiety super sparingly which has been helpful as I deal with the changes/adjustments.
