I used Buspar several years ago after several yr's on xanax. My neurologist who specializes in anxiety disorders was noticing my severe dependence on xanax at low doses 0.5mg's 4x's daily so he weaned me off of the xanax and on to buspar. this was the best move because it was done properly and when I was completely off of the xanax and only on the buspar my life was very different and almost anxiety free.. I wasn't obsessed with the xanax anymore because of the effects of the buspar. No weight gain, Actually I didn't notice any side effects. So after about a year I was weaned off of the buspar and did very well.. This was after I had dealt with the underlying problem that was causing the anxiety. Hope this helps some..Beck
