Buspar (buspirone): Unusual movements of the head & neck muscles has been reported as a side effect, related to dose increase or high dose. Please inform your prescribing doctor asap.

SEROTONIN ISSUE: Unfortunately i think that you are have a reaction to the serotonin that is boosted by Buspar (buspirone) so you will have to discuss with your physician and taper off and try something different.
