Info obtained from medicinenet:
BRAND NAME: Buspar DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Buspirone is an antianxiety medication that works by stimulating serotonin type 1A receptors on nerves thereby altering the chemical messages that nerves transmit to each other. Unlike the most commonly prescribed antianxiety medications of the benzodiazepine class (for example, diazepam [Valium], lorazepam [Ativan], alprazolam [Xanax]; clonazepam [Klonopin]), buspirone does not cause sedation.

How much are you taking? My Dr just prescribed this for me and then I read the side effects and skipped out.

Hello, I am taking 1/2,10mgs. 2 times per day for 3 days (15mgs) Then 1/2, 3 times per day. She wants to work up to a larger dose evry 3 days. But, I also take amitriptyline. The buspar gives me energy, kind of jittery sometimes. You might try taking 1 or 2 to see how you feel. and build up to more. At least it is not addicting. Everything has side effects. Life has side effects. God Bless.
