This post is actually a reply to one of my friend's concern regarding Buspar one of the several brand names of buspirone available in the market.There are many other brand names for buspirone like buspimen,buspimol etc.

It is a anxiolytic drug[drugs used in the treatment of anxiety].It's chemical structure is un-related to the more commonly used anti-anxiety drug the benzodiazepines[like diazepam,clonazepam etc.]

Unlike the benzodiazepines it has no dependence or drug tolerance property.Drug tolerance can be commonly explained as a property of certain drugs in which by continued use of the drug,the individual becomes tolerant to it's action.

Buspirone is a selective serotonin agonist that alters the serotonin system of the brain.

It's main indication is generalised anxiety disorder.Sometimes it may also be used to increase the effect of SSRIs in depression.in ADHD[attention deficit hyperactivity disorder]

The side-effects of these drug are...

Please remember Buspirone is a prescription drug, & should never be taken without the
proper prescription of a registered medical practitioner.
