Does anyone have experience with taking Buspar for anxiety?

I've just started taking it after trying numerous other drugs for anxiety. (Lexapro, Celexa, Paxil, Remeron) Right now I don't like how shortly after taking a 10 mg pill I get dizzy and "brain zaps" (which is normally a symptom of SSRI discontinuation). These side effects go away within a couple of hours but I am curious if Buspar has helped anyone with their anxiety in the long run or am I just wasting my time with this drug.

Thanks for your reply. I have dropped my does down to 5 mg instead of 10 mg for now because of the side effects. Do you find it helps with your anxiety?
