Summary

Sequoia 22794 had long COVID and pre-existing anxiety. In the third week of long haul they started buspirone 5 mg twice daily; the low dose caused no side effects, but the first week left them mentally unstable without panic attacks. By July 2022 they reported the same slow rise as another user.
