Different: Busar is an anxiolytic. Citalopram (Celexa) is a SSRI antidepressant. Although Celexa can be used for OCD and anxiety one of its most frequently reported side effects is anxiety. Buspar (buspirone) activates presynaptic Dopamine receptors. The starting dose is 7.5 mg twice a day. It may take several weeks to work. You can increase the daily dose by 5 mg every few days. Avoid commercial grapefruit juice.
