Can be side effects: Buspar (buspirone) can cause GI upset, and this may also wear off in a few days. It can be helpful for anxiety, and usually requires at least 7-10 days of consistent dosing to show effect. Please discuss this with your own doctor, who knows your case and why s/he prescribed this medicine for you. S/he will want to know how you're doing so that s/he can adjust doses as needed.

Yes: Talk to your doctor. You probably are experiencing side effects. If you did not experience these problems at lower doses, a reduction in dose may be warranted.

Buspar (buspirone) on stomach: Fairly common side-effect at high dose. Consult your doctor to help you taper the dose or supplement.
