Vanspar Reviews
For Anxiety "Went into anaphylaxis after third dose. Increased anxiety. Had to go to the emergency room via ambulance. Mouth, tongue, & throat were swollen, chest was tight, severe all over itching, & itching throat. Found out this only works 50% of the time. That it's a hail Mary drug. It works on half of the people, makes the other half worse. Be very cautious with this one. Because it's a 50/50 chance."
For Anxiety "This medicine has helped me so much, I was first put on paxil (was allergic to it and didn’t even know) but then my psychiatrist put me on buspirone, an it has helped me so so much! This medication is the best. I don’t overthink or worry about things as much as I used to. I did have side effects when I got my dosage upped, and it lasted for about a month, I had felt extremely nervous and restlessness, but other than that, it is great."
For Anxiety "It has made me irritable, socially awkward, has not helped my anxiety, makes me light-headed a for a bit after I take it, and gives me the general sense that something is "off""
For Anxiety "On this for PTSD. I would encourage your Dr. to choose other medications. This drug takes several weeks before you Might feel relief."
