I haven't heard of BuSpar, so I can't offer my perspective on that. I take Zoloft for my panic attacks and anxiety. It has worked amazingly well for me. I felt a little loopy for the first couple days but that subsided quickly. I experienced very few side effects and only for a very brief time. The side effect that I would say was most prominent was the vividness of some of my dreams - to the point that I would wake up in the morning not knowing if I had dreamed something or it really happened.
Either way, I hope you find something that works, because I understand just how paralyzing panic and anxiety can be.
Seconds before the elevator door closed at the Sears Tower, I shoved my way through, yelling that I needed to get off the elevator. I would refuse to ride the subway if I had to stand. I have called 911 because I was convinced I was dying of a heart attack. I stopped driving for 2 months because I had a panic attack in traffic.
All of these things are in the past, now, and I can enjoy all of the things I once detested because of panic and anxiety. I actually enjoy crowds now. Good luck and keep us posted on how things are going.
