Buspirone is a medication prescribed primarily for anxiety disorders, offering an alternative to benzodiazepines. Unlike benzodiazepines, it does not cause sedation or addiction. Instead, buspirone works by affecting serotonin receptors in the brain, regulating mood and anxiety levels. It’s often used for generalized anxiety disorder and may take a few weeks to reach its full therapeutic effect. Buspirone is generally well-tolerated, with side effects typically being mild.
