side effects on medication? why?

Why does it say to call your doctor right away if you have a fast or pounding heartbeat or numbness and tingiling and tremors and shaking? But then there's other side effects that say you should just talk to your doctor about them?

I'm taking 15mg of Buspar twice a day. I started yesterday and I've noticed I feel this shocking or pressure feeling everytime I take it and short of breathe, too. Should I be concerned?

But why does it say to call your doctor if you have the tingiling and stuff?

They say to see a gp so that ure gp can change ure dose or stop you taking them generally. Minor side effects that they think should pass they don't worry about, more serious ones they prefer you to get checked as they can be dangerous

Hi, I suggest you do go and see your doc.

But I thought anxiety medication wasn't bad....

Anxiety medication has some of the worst associated side effects I'm afraid

My doctor wasn't the one who prescribed them. I got them prescribed by my therapist. Or better yet, by the doctor who prescribes the medication. The zapping feeling I've read I'd normal but I always feel short of breathe too.

Any Dr can be seen, doesn't have to be the one who prescribed them

So they aren't safe?

For some people,probably not,for others they will be. The same as any medication, some people will have bad effects,some minor,some not at all
