Zoloft for anxiety now being switched to buspar, (buspirone) is it the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, they are two: Different medications. Zoloft is an antidepressant that is also effective for anxiety. Buspar (buspirone) is an anxiolytic medication. I used both them of them often. They are both helpful medications. Take care.
