50% chances are there

Detailed Answer:
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.

Regards,

Dr.Chintan Solanki.
