More About Buspar
What is Buspirone HCL (Buspar)?
Buspirone Hydrochloride (HCL) is an anxiety medication prescribed
for management of anxiety disorders or short-term relief of anxiety
symptoms. It is a substance that is not chemically or pharmacologically
related to benzodiazepines (e.g. Valium, Xanax) barbituates, or
other sedative like or anti-anxiety drugs.
Buspirone is in tablet form and comes in 5mg, 10mg, 15mg and 30mg
strengths.

How does Buspirone (Buspar) work for
anxiety treatment?
In vitro studies demonstrated Buspar has a high affinity for serotonin
receptors (receptors in the brain that mediate arousal). Buspar
has no significant affinity for benzodiazepine receptors in the
brain.
However, the mechanism of action of Buspar is not definitively known.
Buspar differs from typical benzodiazepines like Valium or Xanax
anti-anxiety medication because it doesn’t exert anti-seizure
or muscle relaxant effects. Buspirone also lacks the prominent sedative
effect shown in benzodiazepines.

How effective is Buspar?
The excellent effectiveness of Buspar as an anti-anxiety treatment
has been proven in controlled clinical trials of outpatients with
a diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
These patients experienced symptoms from 1 month to over 1 year
prior to the study, displaying average symptom duration of 6 months.
Generalized, persistent anxiety symptoms (minimally one month continual
duration), manifested from three of the four following categories:
Motor tension: Shakiness, jitteriness, jumpiness, trembling,
tension, muscle aches, fatigability, inability to relax, eyelid
twitch, furrowed brow, strained face, fidgeting, restlessness, easy
startle.
Autonomic hyperactivity: Sweating, heart pounding/racing,
cold, clammy hands, dry mouth, dizziness, lightheadedness, paresthesias
(tingling hands/feet), upset stomach, hot/cold spells, frequent
urination, diarrhea, discomfort in pit of stomach, lump in throat,
flushing, pallor, high resting pulse and respiration rate.
Apprehensive expectation: Anxiety, worry, fear, rumination,
anticipation of misfortune to self or others.
Vigilance and scanning: Hyper-attentiveness resulting in
distractibility, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, feeling "on
edge", irritability, impatience.
Effectiveness of Buspar in long-term use (over 3-4 weeks), has not
been demonstrated in controlled trials. There is no evidence available
that systematically addresses appropriate duration of treatment
for General anxiety disorder. However, in a study of long-term use,
264 patients were treated with Buspar for 1 year without ill effect.

Buspar dosage
The recommended initial dosage is 15mg daily (5mg 3 times). To achieve
optimal therapeutic response, at intervals of 2-3 days, dosage may
be increased 5mg per day, as needed. Maximum daily dosage should
not exceed 60mg. Clinical trials commonly used dose titration method
(dividing doses of 20 to 30mg per day).

Buspar side effects and adverse
reactions
The more commonly observed side effects seen using Buspar but not
at the same incidence rate among placebo-treated patients include:
• dizziness
• nausea
• headache
• nervousness
• lightheadedness
• excitement
Other common adverse Buspar side effects included:
• central nervous system disturbances (3.4%)
• primarily dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, drowsiness, lightheaded
feeling; gastrointestinal disturbances (1.2%)
• primarily nausea; miscellaneous disturbances (1.1%)
• primarily headache and fatigue
Interference with cognitive and motor performance:
Clinical studies have shown that Buspar is less sedating than other
anti-anxiety medications and doesn’t cause significant functional
impairment. However, Buspar's central nervous system effects in
any individual patient may not be predictable.
Therefore, use caution when operating an automobile or using complex
machinery until reasonably certain that Buspar does not affect you
adversely.
Formal studies of the interaction of Buspar with alcohol have shown
that Buspar does not increase alcohol-induced impairment in motor
and mental performance. However, it is advisable to avoid concomitant
use of alcohol and Buspar.
(top)
Drug abuse and dependence
In human and animal studies, Buspar has not shown a potential for
abuse or diversion. There is no evidence that it causes tolerance,
or either physical or psychological dependence. Human volunteers
with a history of recreational drug or alcohol usage were studied
in two double-blind clinical investigations. None of the subjects
were able to distinguish between Buspar and placebo. Additionally,
studies with monkeys, rats, and mice have indicated that Buspar
lacks potential for abuse. There is no direct evidence that Buspar
causes physical dependence or drug-seeking behavior, but it is difficult
to predict from experiments the extent to which a central nervous
system active drug will be misused.
