So, there's no guarantee you would--or would not--have that problem, or some other problem someone else happens to report having experienced."

If you are having these results with Bu-Spar that is great, because it means that is doing what it is suppose to do and that is regulate the chemicals in the brain that cause anxiety. Bu-Spar is like the 'anti-depressant for anxiety'. This is a totally different class of anti-anxiety medications, it is not like Valium in the sense that it temporarily helps your anxiety. Valium and its equivalents work on suppressing your central nervous system, it is temporary and does not treat the underlying cause of anxiety like Bu-Spar does, which is a chemical imbalance. Your brain may have just needed a little 'kick in the butt' and your doctor will likely one day see if the Bu-Spar got the brain chemicals 'talking' to each other better. If so... that is great, a few people have to take medications like Bu-Spar for extended periods of time and that is ok. It does not mean you are addicted, it is kind of like how a diabetic needs their insulin, the body just does not produce enough or it does not know how to regulate it. Never stop taking medication like Bu-Spar without talking to your doctor, you might be feeling much better and think it is okay to stop but it can be dangerous. Medications that work with brain chemicals are very complex, I would suggest going to WebMd.com and research the medication better there. That will give you the real specifics. I only go by what my doc said and my experience with Bu-spar. I cannot metabolize Bu-Spar, so you are lucky that it helps. I really do not think you have anything to worry about, it sounds like you are responding well, like I said it is not a controlled med like the benzos, those are what you might be thinking of when you say anti-anxiety and those can be abused, I have never heard of Bu-Spar being abused, but again I would recommend WebMd.com, they have lots of info there. Good luck"
