Buspirone

Hi. Is anyone on buspirone? I've been on it for a couple of weeks but haven't taken it religiously as I forget. I took 2 doses yesterday but missed the middle one and I was awake at 3 this morning itching like mad. I am on sertraline and I know there is a warning with the 2 but I've no rash or hives, just terrible itching all over. I'm also jittery and as I'm typing this my leg is twitching.

Has anyone had this or knows anything about it?

Hi, I was on Buspirone for a while and although I didn’t forget to take any tablets, I do remember the first few days on it and the crazy itching! It was like it was on the inside of my skin, I know that sounds crazy! So I’m guessing it’s a side effect of the tablet. Can you set an alarm/reminder on your phone in the middle of the day to help remember to take it?

Hi

I know this is an older thread. Ive been taking buspirone for about a week for severe anxiety. Were you able to drink a glass of wine whilst taking it? I dont drink much at all. But wouldnt mind the odd glass!
