Buspar is a medication used to treat chronic anxiety or generalized anxiety disorder, especially if symptoms include excessive tension, difficulty concentrating, or sleep disturbances. Buspar may sometimes be used non-primary in the management of stress-related conditions or as a complementary treatment for other psychiatric disorders. This medication is distinguished from other anxiety medications by its lack of physical dependence or addiction, making it a relatively safe option for long-term treatment.
Buspar should be used under the supervision of a specialist doctor to determine the appropriate dose and monitor the patient's response, as it may take several weeks before the desired results appear.
