Buspar is a non sedating anxiolytic. In other words it is not supposed to make you drowsy and will relax you. Xanax is a hypnotic/tranquilizer in the Benzodiazepine class (like Valium, but a lot shorter acting). Xanax has been known to cause quite a bit of dependance and is therefore not recommended for long term use, but it is up to the doc. If you need something that is less sedating for anxiety, Buspar is a good choice. I think that the doc is wanting to get you off the Xanax and onto the Buspar. I can't say for sure, though.
( I think you're thinking of Bupropion Patrick)

Different medicines work differently for everyone. Xanax works really well for some, and not so well for others. Personally, I dont see why you should be on Xanax, a muscle relaxer, and buspar. If it just anxiety the Xanax might work perfectly for you without all the other additives.

Hi, Buspar is a serotonin/dopamine re-uptake inhibitor which affects the limbic system in the brain. This system generally determines how we feel about ourselves, what we are doing, and our environment. It is used for depression and also for individuals wanting to quit smoking. So, if you have anxiety, it will likely help. I also suggest getting outside and some general exercise. Xanax depresses the central nervous system and can swing you out of balance in terms of how you feel. Best of luck!

You should probably call your doctor and
just ask him how long the buspar will take to
get in your system.
Stress and anxiety can cause havoc for the body,
mind and spirit. It can make you feel like you are
falling apart. It can make your mind whirl and your muscles tense up. And it is frustrating when we don't
get a tangible answer for what ails us. I am glad that
all your tests came out well. That is good news.
Its tough to have anxiety.
Have you ever tried taking a yoga class or
guided imagery? There are many alternative
therapies out there that can reduce stress and
anxiety with practice. You can do these things
along with taking your medicine and then over time when you learn to manage your anxiety, perhaps you can stop taking the medicines. I am not telling you what to do- just encouraging dialogue for you to have with someone who knows your medical history/family history.
Also, do you see a therapist? That can
really help to have someone to talk to that can assist you
in pinpointing these anxieties/fears especially if you are taking medicine.
From my experience, it seems that doctors medicate without asking too many questions and then usually don't even offer more information or alternatives to medicine. They always are in a hurry to get you in the office and out again (from my experience). Nothing is preventative it seems. Just reactive.
Breathing exercises are
helpful in regulating stress levels in the body/mind.
A yoga/meditation excercise that helps me;
Inhale through your nose slowly and
relax your jaw- then exhale with a gentle sigh- keeping the jaw relaxed. Repeat until you feel calmer.
Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down. Close your
eyes if you like.
Inhale gently, slowly through your nose.
Filling the low belly up through the ribs/chest up
to callar bones and then reverse that flow slowly
on the exhale. Exhale this time through the nose- gently and
slowly. Repeat until you feel calmer.
When chaotic thoughts are chattering away in your mind- try to
notice them and then let them float by like
little fluffy clouds... remaining unattached to those thoughts.
Of course this won't be easy. So, don't worry about it.
Just focus on the breath. The breath usually controls the
mind. Usually we hold our breath (especially, when we
are thinking and stressing and worrying. We don't even realize it)
Practicing the breath meditations has greatly helped me
with stress and anxiety.
Hope it can help you. I wish you the best.

I took it and got off it. I don't have any old bottles here, but when I first started to take it they had one that released into your body right away. Then they changed that to a timed release that was supposed to be better. As I remember they used to make me feel funny too. On men they have sexual side affects too. i take Mirtazapine now. They claim that it takes up to a month for the drugs to take affect. Before you start feeling normal, hopefully. They start you at low doses and then work.up. I also take 2000 mg of divalproex a day. That is a mood stabilizer. Actually I don't have a lot of confidence in any of them. When I was on the one you are now I just quit taking them. The bottles just built up as they sent them to me. I get all my medication through the mail.
