Okay, so, a couple weeks ago, I had a severe anxiety attack and August 12th I had my doctors appointment.

I take Sertraline as well. He upped my dosage from 100mg to 150mg and also prescribed me Buspar 7.5mg HCL tablets..this is my first time taking Buspar and I took my first tablet yesterday morning and omg, I slept most of the day away. I got sooo tired. But, idk if it’s both meds making me tired, since he upped my sertraline or what. Also, my Buspar bottle says “take 1 tablet by mouth three times a day AS NEEDED for acute anxiety”…so, that means I take this medication 3 times a day or just AS NEEDED? Because I looked up the medication and it’s NOT a short term medication until my sertraline kicks in. I told my doctor I needed something for short term and he prescribes me Buspar…but the label, to me, is kinda confusing. 🫤 I know the Buspar needs to be taken every day, so it’ll start working. How do yall space out taking your Buspar? Just like, once in the morning, lunch, and dinner?

I’m completely new at taking Buspar. So bear with me lol.

I had my doctors appointment today, and my doctor prescribed me Buspirone 7.5mg tablets. It’s saying to take 1 tablet by mouth 3x a day as needed. It’s not a short term med. It takes a few weeks for it to actually kick in for my anxiety. Has anyone took this? Is it worth it? Everyone is different. Doctor also upped my sertraline meds to 150mg. I was on 100mg.
