General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, thanks for the query. I understand your concern. * Buspar is a relaxant medicine , fit for long term use. It starts to be effective after some time ( say up to 2 weeks ). So wait for at least 2 weeks to draw some conclusion about the effect. The symptoms are likely to be exaggerated in early days . Your symptoms of being snappy might be out of this. To be patient & take medicine regularly at same time of the day and same way ( with or without food )- helps in getting better effect. * Now about your chest pain. Consult your family physician for this.. looking for it's origin to be cardiac. It can also be due to low calcium/ vitamin D - which can be corrected by supplements. The cause of pain being excluded ot treated properly... your anxiety & pain would be controlled. Thanks.
