Buspar (buspirone): is anxiolytic that is not a benzodiazepine. It acts by binding to 5-HT receptors, which may account for its antidepressant effects. Buspar (buspirone) is recommended for the management of generalized anxiety disorder and for patients who have a combination of anxiety and depression.
