20mg experiences - updated
Hey all,
As a fellow 20mg person 4 weeks in now, curious about any and all experiences of you all on 20mg. i know there are past threads, but curious of new current experiences, good and bad! How has 20mg been for you???
Stopping buspar (buspirone)
was taking 5mg 2x a day for a few months, then upped to 10mg 2x a day but ultimately decided it was making me more anxious than helping. just not the drug for me. Also on lexapro 20mg which is a better fit. My doctor said i could stop cold turkey due to the nature of the drug. I do have some withdrawal anxiety but it seems to be going away. how long does withdrawal last? Any thoughts and experiences of quitting buspar would be appreciated
Quitting cold turkey

Can we just appreciate…
the greatness that is the end-game of Palau. Katie & Ian fighting and making up over and over again, Caryn going off the rails realizing she’s drawing dead, Tom in the middle of everything trying to process it all and finesse through it. The Tom/Ian fallout and the fire challenge. Final 3 immunity. It’s one of my favorite endgames, especially given that it’s such an old-school season with such high tension.
Hang in there (positive story)
hey everyone. just wanted to share some positivity. i started at 10mg for 6 weeks, and that only slightly helped me, so went to 15mg for 1 week, and now am at 20mg for 2 weeks and 2 days so far and I can just now (finally) say that I am feeling great today and have a lot of anxiety relief!!!! I’m sure it will continue to improve over the next month or 2. Hang in there, I know those initial few weeks are sooooooo rough but you will (hopefully) turn a corner! I am excited to continue to feel more relief, as 20mg is really beginning to help. I have access to a benzodiazepine (Lorazepam) which can really help during the initial phase.
20mg sleepiness
I’ve been on 20mg dose for 2 weeks now. While I expect the anxiety to improve over the next couple month, I’m constantly sleepy. Taking naps and sleeping for a long time. Does this improve over time, getting more adjusted to the dose?
Recent 20mg experiences
Hey guys. I’ve gone up to 20mg for the past 10 days, and it hasn’t been too rough of an adjustment, but I think I still need a few more weeks to feel the full effects.
Just curious about people who are on 20mg now and their experience. Good or bad. Did it take 4-6 weeks to feel the relief?
