Can buspar (buspirone) 5mg cause gi issues? and vomiting
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Buspar (buspirone) binds to serotonin and dopamine receptors. Serotonin receptors are in the gut and the brain which may lead to GI symptoms / side effects. These are usually resolved in a couple weeks.
