buspar seems like it is helping me with my anxiety. I feel more calm and not as nervous. I have been taking only for two weeks. They say it takes 2 to 6 weeks to reach it full potential. I know my anxiety is mainly from family loss of my father and taking care of my mother. I am exhausted and afraid something will happen to her. I took care of my father and helped him through his 7 short months of his life that he had left after being diagnosed with rectal cancer. I didn't realize how that 7 months took it's toll on me until I started feeling severe anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Thanks to my doctor I am now on Buspar. I hope I continue to overcome my anxiety.
