A member asked:
I am on 5mg buspar (buspirone) for my stomach. the medication has been causing me a lot of side effects. would it be okay to stop suddenly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check w your doc: Pharmacologically speaking, a 5 mg dose of Buspar (buspirone) is very low, and not likely to cause any sort of withdrawal syndrome from sudden stopping, but you were place on this drug for a reason. Best advice is to discuss this with your doc to determine if you need to change meds or stop this drug.
