Use of Buspar for Anxiety
is not a Sign of Weakness
At first, Jonathon worried that his decision
to take Buspar for anxiety was a sign of weakness.
“I didn’t want to have to depend on Buspar to control my fear and worry. In fact, I always thought there was a stigma attached to turning to medicine for help.”
According to Dr. David Larson, author of the insightful book titled “How To Stop Your Anxiety Now,” many people have problems accepting help with their anxiety problems.
“Many feel embarrassed about their anxiety and have problems reaching out for the support that is available. We try to be strong, independent. We may adopt the ‘I can do this by myself attitude.
We tend to personalize our problem, as if there something wrong about us. We feel discouraged, weak, maybe even ashamed that we struggle so.”
Although results will vary from person to person, Jonathan saw a noticeable difference in his anxiety levels within two weeks after beginning taking Busbar for his anxiety.
Buspar (Buspirone) has been helpful for many people with anxiety. It is chemically different from other medicines that treat anxiety because it has very little effect on mental alertness. Buspar does not produce dependency problems.
Before taking Buspar for anxiety, you should let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney disease or if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
Visit your doctor at regular intervals to check your progress while you are taking Buspar. It may take one or two weeks before your anxiety goes away. Do not stop taking Buspar without consulting your doctor.
There are many safe and effective medications on the market today that can help you win your battle with anxiety. Ask your doctor if Buspar is right for you.
