What is the normal starting dose for Buspar/Buspirone ?

0

I was on 5mg a day for four months. Doc finally upped it to 10mg a day last month. I still have horrible anxiety manifested by an inability to relax (a little bit OCD, am on this Answers far too much) and by thoughts of the possiblities of horrible things happening to my loved ones, including graphic images of violence (No, I am not afraid I will harm them or myself. I just can’t believe the things people do to each other in this world, and it seems to be that my Anxiety is manifested by these fears) I have been told not to watch the news, but I don’t think that is the answer. Anyway, currently taking 10mg Buspirone daily, and 20mg Paxil. Prozac didn’t work… I read on one of the WebDoc sites that a normal starting dose of Buspar is 15mg a day. A: Initially 5mg three times a day. Dosage increased at 3 day intervals 5mg at a time. Usual maintenance dose is 20-30mg a day in divided doses.
