Possible food and drug interactions when taking this medication
There is 1 report suggesting that the concomitant use of trazodone and buspirone may have caused 3- to 6-fold elevations in ALT (SGPT) in a few patients. In a similar study, attempting to replicate th
is finding, no interactive effect on hepatic transaminases was identified.

Other medical problems
Occupational Hazards:
Until further experience is obtained with buspirone, patients should be warned not to operate an automobile or undertake activities requiring mental alertness, judgment and p
hysical coordination, until they are reasonably certain that buspirone does not affect them adversely.
|
Overdose
In clinical pharmacology trials, buspirone up to 400 mg/day was administered to healthy male volunteers. As this dose was approached, the following symptoms were observed in descending order of freque
ncy: drowsiness, ataxia, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, clammy feeling, difficulty thinking, feeling high, rushing sensation, gastric distress, headache, itching, miosis, hypotension, tremor, incoord
ination, insomnia and hallucinations. In a dose ranging study in acute psychotic patients, up to 2400 mg/day was administered. Dizziness, nausea and vomiting were the most common adverse effects. One
patient developed extrapyramidal symptoms at 600 mg/day.

Why is this medication prescribed?
The mechanism of action of BUSPAR is not clearly known. BUSPAR differs from typical benzodiazepines like Vallium or Xanax anti-anxiety medication in that it does not exert anti-seizure or muscle relax
ant effects. It also lacks the prominent sedative effect that is associated with benzodiazepines
In vitro studies have shown that 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.
