Yes, but always try: Consultation with the doctor who prescribed to advise them of your decision - it's always a good idea to discuss this since it provides the doctor w/ valuable information on you and the drug. But especially after such a short use you should be fine. Here's supportive info: http://www.Psychatlanta.Com/documents/buspar.Pdf best!
