A lot of people knock buspar. Its catchy name was a marketing ploy whenever it came out as aBUSE-proof (my doctor said this, I have no real idea if its true). The thing with buspar is it doesnt work on panic attacks specifically. it takes time to build up in your system. I can say that it basically eliminates that overwhelming, underlying anxiety...the kind you wake up with and go to sleep with. The kind that increases your heart rate, or keeps it at a baseline above normal. It took 6 weeks for me to wake up one day and realize that the sun was out and I didnt feel like that day was the first day of the apocolypse. I am an alcoholic in recovery. I did not have a benzo problem and I have taken them in the past. My issue was when I was taking them I got too into the "chill factor" where I could easily see myself chilling out enough to pick up a drink.
