Before starting buspirone, I never saw any other comments of its sexual side effects apart from libido increase. This was how it was for me in the beginning, too. But after a couple months of usage, I noticed that my libido had gone down a lot. Because of this as well as others unpleasant side effects, my dose was decreased. Libido has slightly come back, BUT now I'm experiencing difficulty to orgasm. It takes longer and feels very... meh. Watered down.

Tbh I'm kinda mad that I never saw one mention of this being a possibility. Now that I've known to look for these experiences, I've found others discussing the same thing, and I'm wondering if it's actually more common than thought, simply because people typically only write about the effects they experience right after starting.

So I met a psychiatrist because I was dealing with serious attention/executive function issues and I think I might have undiagnosed DHD. She also thinks I might have ADHD, but she is also thinking I might be suffering from anxiety that impairs my ability to function.

Just last night, I increased my dosage from 5mg to 7mg, and had some a cup of coffee and an energy drink, plus a donut this morning. I noticed that my phone wasn't charging, and I started having racing thoughts and this was stressing me out.

It made me think that my phone's battery was dead, that I will have to drive to the one repair shop that I trust that is an hour away, how much money I am going to spend, as I am trying to desperately fix my phone at work, while making sure I don't get caught with my phone, I am nervous about how much time I am managing my time. That I will likely have to pack my stuff up so I will make it on time to the shop.

And then I get to my car to see if my phone is the problem, and it starts charging again.

I was in extreme stress and then when I realized I probably don't have a problem with my phone, I calmed down and started making this post.

TL;DR

Do you suffer from bursts of anxiety from time to time? When should I anticipate my anxiety gets under control?
