I'm taking Buspar now. Ive been on it for a few months now and I think it helps somewhat. I still have the physical symptoms of anxiety, but the anxious thoughts have quieted down a bit more than without the drug. More often than not I just have to endure the physical anxiety symptoms and go about my way so I can do the things I want to do.

From my experience its likely I'll have anxiety for a long time to come. especially the physical reaction to my anxiety. The sweating, jitters, hot flushing of the face, rapid heart beat and weakness in my legs. what i have been able to greatly lessen is the thoughts, like thinking I will collapse, everybody is looking at me, I have to get out of here now, I can't stand this and so on. I can effectively counter those thoughts now and that dose help a lot.

I do carry a big lot of paper towel folded in my back pockets...and a roll of it in my car...so that helps. I even cave a couple change of shirts in my car trunk now that I think about it.
