Persistent Anxiety is a Serious Disorder That Affects Over 10 Million Americans, Buspar.com:"Defining generalized anxiety disorder At one time or another, all of us have feelings of worry, nervousness, or uneasiness in our daily lives. But when the worry becomes hard to control, prominent, and persistent (present for more than 6 months), it may begin to have a serious negative impact on our daily activities and well-being. That's when doctors may diagnose the disorder called generalized anxiety disorder." http://www.buspar.com/whatis.htm ****************************************************** Buspirone - RxList Monographs: "BuSpar (buspirone hydrochloride) is an antianxiety agent that is not chemically or pharmacologically related to the benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or other sedative/anxiolytic drug" http://www.rxlist.com:80/cgi/generic/buspir.htm ****************************************************** Buspirone: Internet Mental Health:"Buspirone shares some of the properties of the benzodiazepines and the neuroleptics, as well as demonstrating other pharmacological action. It attenuates punishment suppressed behavior in animals and exerts a taming effect, but is devoid of anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant properties and does not bind to the benzodiazepine/GABA receptor complex. Buspirone affects a variety of dopamine mediated biochemical and behavioral events, but is free of cataleptic activity." http://www.mentalhealth.com/drug/p30-b03.html ****************************************************** How BuSpar® (buspirone HCl, USP) Can Help If You Have Persistent Anxiety:"With BuSpar, you could be on your way to relief of your generalized anxiety disorder symptoms. Remember, take BuSpar - as recommended by your doctor-do not discontinue your therapy without contacting your doctor first." http://www.anxiety-relief.com/nonhabit.htm ****************************************************** Ask the Expert - BuSpar's Efficacy:"Buspirone [BuSpar] has been prescribed for more than eight years, and has an excellent safety record. It is not habit-forming, has very little sedating effect, and rarely causes serious side effects." http://www.mhsource.com/expert/exp1080596b.html ****************************************************** Doctors' Answers to "Frequently Asked Questions" - Buspar:"Buspirone (Buspar) is used to treat mild anxiety. The mechanism of this drug is not clear, but is not like valium and the like. It is mildly effective without the same addiction potential as the benzodiazepines (valium, etc.). It should not be used with MAO antidepressants. Common side effects include vertigo, sleepiness, blurred vision, and types of numbness or paresthesias." http://www.druginfonet.com/faq/faqbusp.htm ****************************************************** Buspar 10 Mg Tablets, Dosage and Directions For Use:"The usual starting dose is half a tablet (5 mg) given three times daily. This may be increased by 5 mg increments every two or three days, depending upon the therapeutic response, to a maximum daily dose of 60 mg. The usual effective daily dose is 20 to 30 mg in divided doses. In view of buspirone's low propensity to sedate and induce muscle relaxation, patients may not immediately notice the effects of the medication. Furthermore, clinical experience has also indicated that a few weeks treatment may be required before the full anxiolytic action is evident. Safety and efficacy of this medicine for prolonged use (more than six months) have not been established. The usefulness of this medicine for the individual patient should be periodically reassessed." http://home.intekom.com/pharm/bm_squib/buspar.html ****************************************************** BuSpar, Survivor's Corner:"There is no dangerous interaction with alcohol or food. Control Caffeine intake, as caffeine can increase anxiety. Smoking may reduce blood levels of BuSpar. Consult your physician before taking sedatives, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, prescription pain medication, antihistamines, or hay fever medications." http://www.survivorscorner.com/buspar.htm ****************************************************** Buspirone hydrochloride: Red Oak Psychiatry Associates, P.A. http://www.redoakpsychiatry.com/medications/buspar.html ****************************************************** Fact Sheet: Buspirone (BuSpar): Ask NOAH About: Mental Health, The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, Department of Psychiatric Nursing:"Most often, this medicine is used to treat: anxiety depression, aggressiveness obsessive-compulsive disorder agitation." http://www.noah-health.org/english/illness/mentalhealth/cornell/medications/buspar.html ****************************************************** Anxiety Support Organizations: Association for Advancement of Behavior Therapy 305 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001-1865, Telephone: (212) 647-1890 ****************************************************** American Psychiatric Association: a medical specialty society recognized world-wide.
