BuSpar, which is generically prescribed as buspirone, is commonly used to treat anxiety and patients who suffer the effects of anxiety attacks. BuSpar is a short term anti-anxiety medication aimed to rebalance chemicals in the brain that may attribute to severe anxiety and anxiety attacks.
BuSpar is not appropriate for everyone. A thorough medical history should be assessed prior to prescribing this medication. Patients with a medical history that includes liver disease, kidney disease, or has taken an MAO inhibitor within the previous 14 days should not take this medication or may require careful monitoring while undergoing drug therapy with BuSpar, depending on the condition and the severity of the condition. Patients who mix BuSpar with an MAO inhibitor in less than the given two week window may have serious life threatening reactions. This medication is not appropriate for children under the age of 18 years old.
The American Food and Drug Administration rated BuSpar as a pregnancy risk category B. BuSpar is not expected to cause harm or birth defects in unborn babies. It has yet to be determined whether or not BuSpar passes through the mother’s breast milk and affects an unborn baby. The prescribing physician should discuss whether the benefits outweigh the risks prior to prescribing this medication to a pregnant or nursing woman.
There is a risk of side effects associated with BuSpar, some of which are severe. A patient experiencing a serious side effect or an allergic reaction should seek immediate emergency medical attention. An allergic reaction will present with symptoms such as facial swelling, which includes swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue, or throat, hives, and difficulty breathing.

Less serious side effects include symptoms such as nausea, upset stomach, insomnia, trouble concentrating, restlessness, drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, and blurry vision. Less serious side effects can often be reduced to a tolerable level by reducing the dosage of BuSpar.
BuSpar should be taken exactly as it has been prescribed by the physician. If the patient misses a dose, the dose should be taken as soon as it is remembered. However, if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, the missed dose should be skipped to avoid the potential for an overdose. If an overdose is suspected, the patient should seek immediate emergency medical attention. An overdose will present with symptoms which include drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurry vision, and stomach pain.

This is an absolute horrible drug that can have frightening severe allergic reaction. Within days of having the medication increased I had severe vertigo, mood changes that made me feel unwarrented anger and verge of rage upon waking up one morning. I could not close my eyes for a second without seeing horrible terrifying and bizarre images in my mind. The last thing I ever wanted in my life was to be put in a mental health ward at the hospital. I had two small children and a husband at the time who was unsupportive and just wanted me home to meet his needs, the hell with how I was suffering. I had no choice but to go to the ER and request I be admitted. I was absolutely devistated at the turn of events in my mind and in my life within hours of having the dose increased. I couldn't see properly, I became so frightened and panicked I nearly lost my mind. I stayed for 2 days. They refused to discharge me after 1 day, which just set me off even more. I remember trying to force myself to walk around the halls and look like I was fine. I didn't look fine and I knew it. I was having to walk up to the hall walls to keep trying to get my bearings. I hope my sharing this story helps to prevent someone else from ever ever experiencing such a personal nightmare in their life. I eventually improved as the drug got out of my body and am unexpressively grateful that I did not end up with permanent damage to my brain/nervous system. The risk of this drug, at least for me, far out weighed the possible benefits. I should have sued the damn maker of the drug, in hindsight.

My husband has been on this drug for 8 days, and woke up this morning puking. He had been tapering his initial dose, which was 7.5 mg two times a day. It was giving him tingling in his scalp and hands, fatigue, vivid dreams, some nausea and weakness, and some spaciness. It DID reduce his anxiety, but he is in bed with stomach pain, weakness, and a low fever right now. i have watched this coming on. He also experienced some increased aggression, and this guy is not the aggressive tyoe at all, he's a sweetheart. I want him to quit it, but he may have to feel even worse before he does. I made him read the side effects posted all over the net, he spoke with his dr. today, the dr. said it has to be something he ate, not the drug, but the dr. is an ass like so many of them, who never take the time to educate themselves to a drug's side effects, and just take the drug rep's word for everything they prescribe. IDIOTS!
