Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.
Buspirone may help you immediately on first day. No one can say for sure that it will help, chances are 50%. In routine it may take 4-5 days to see optimum effect.
I recommend drugs from benzodiazepine group for your purpose like klonopin or ativan. Please ask your doctor for the same.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
