Are you currently getting any treatment? Psychotherapy? Meds? If you weren't satisfied with your therapist, you might have a different experience w/another therapist. Buspar is a med that seems to help only a small number of people. I am not all that surprised that it didn't help you. There are many other options out there.
Things can get better, but you need to get matched up w/ the right treatment for you. These things won't go away on their own. Please let us know if we can answer any ?'s for you.
Best,
EE

Klonopin has helped me greatly for both generalized anxiety and social anxiety. I take 2mgs a day. Dosing ranges seem to be between 1 and 5 mgs. I've been taking it for 12 years, it is the only thing that has worked for my anxiety and I've tried many meds. It's a quite popular med for anxiety. You may want to ask your doctor about it or other benzo's. Good luck.
