Buspirone (Buspar)
Buspirone, often known by its brand name Buspar, is an anti-anxiety medicine used to treat various anxiety disorders and overall symptoms of anxiety.
It falls into the category of anxiolytics, specifically non-benzodiazepine anxiolytics. This drug class is primarily used for managing anxiety disorders.
Unlike some other medications used for anxiety, such as benzodiazepines, buspirone does not have strong sedative properties and is less likely to be habit-forming.
The primary purpose of buspirone is to treat symptoms of anxiety, such as nervousness, tension, irritability, dizziness, and other physical symptoms that can accompany anxiety disorders. It’s particularly useful for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), a condition characterized by chronic and excessive worrying about a variety of topics.
Buspirone is not typically effective for immediate relief of acute anxiety symptoms or panic attacks; it’s designed for ongoing management of anxiety.
Buspirone works by affecting certain natural substances in the brain (neurotransmitters) to help restore balance and reduce symptoms of anxiety.
Buspirone is available in the form of tablets, which are taken orally. The tablets are typically taken two times a day, and they come in different strengths. The dosage of buspirone is often started low and gradually increased to minimize side effects and find the most effective dose for the individual.
The exact dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the severity of the anxiety disorder and other individual factors, such as age and medical history.
When taking buspirone, it’s important to follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional and not to stop taking the medication abruptly.
In the United States, buspirone is available under the following brand names:
- BuSpar

- Vanspar

If you have any signs of an allergic reaction while taking buspirone such as hives, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat you should get emergency medical help immediately.
The above lists of possible side effects associated with buspirone are not exhaustive and other side effects may occur. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking buspirone, it is important to contact your healthcare provider right away.
