I have been taking buspar (buspirone) 5 mg 3 times a day and they make me dizzy can i quiet them cold turkey

Bad idea: I would wean down from 3x/day to 2x/day (3-5 days at this dose) to 1x/day (again 3-5 days). Then stop. If you stop "cold turkey" you wont die, just feel really bad for a few days.
