Buspirone
"I have a 10 year old who is autistic, is the size of a 13 year old, and has had severe panic and tantrums since he was 4 years old. He is also going through puberty early.



We have tried just about every medication and he has had severe side effects, until Buspar.



We started with 5mg twice a day for 2 weeks and now are 10mg twice a day. Within 36 hours we noticed a considerable change in his physical symptoms (he is non-verbal and cannot tell us what is wrong/or what hurts)

The school is sending home notes saying he is learning to calm himself and self regulate better and is having more spontaneous language and learning at school.



We supplement the Buspar with 3mg daily of risperdal and are hoping to phase out the RISPERDAL this year."
