Buspar
Buspar Uses
Buspirone HCL is indicated for the management of anxiety disorders or the short-term relief of anxiety. It is the generic form of BuSpar.
Buspar Directions
The recommended initial dose is 15 mg daily (5 mg 3 times a day). To achieve an optimal therapeutic response, at intervals of 2 to 3 days the dosage may be increased 5 mg per day, as needed. The maximum daily dosage should not exceed 60 mg per day. In clinical trials allowing dose titration, divided doses of 20 to 30 mg per day were commonly employed.
Buspar Adverse Reactions
The more commonly observed untoward events associated with the use of BUSPAR not seen at an equivalent incidence among placebo-treated patients include dizziness, nausea, headache, nervousness, lightheadedness, and excitement.
Other common adverse events included: central nervous system disturbances (3.4%), primarily dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, drowsiness, and lightheaded feeling; gastrointestinal disturbances (1.2%), primarily nausea; and miscellaneous disturbances (1.1%), primarily headache and fatigue.
Interference with cognitive and motor performance: Studies indicate that BUSPAR is less sedating than other anti-anxiety medications and that it does not produce significant functional impairment. However, its CNS effects in any individual patient may not be predictable.
Therefore, patients should be cautioned about operating an automobile or using complex machinery until they are reasonably certain that BUSPAR treatment does not affect them adversely.
While formal studies of the interaction of BUSPAR with alcohol indicate that BUSPAR does not increase alcohol-induced impairment in motor and mental performance, it is prudent to avoid concomitant use of alcohol and BUSPAR.
