Buspirone: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Buspirone Hydrochloride is a prescription medication used to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and relieve symptoms such as irritability, tension, and a racing heartbeat. It works by balancing serotonin and dopamine activity in the brain to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Unlike benzodiazepines, Buspar does not cause significant sedation, dependence, or withdrawal and is taken regularly rather than as needed.

Controlled Substance Warning

Buspirone is not a controlled substance. It should be taken exactly as prescribed and not combined with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or used within 14 days of stopping them. Avoid large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice, which can raise medication levels in the body.
