A member asked:

How long do the side effects of buspar (buspirone) last. i began taking a higher dose of 30mg 2x a day 5 days ago and am still feeling nauseous.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take w/ meals : GI receptors for serotonin attract Buspar (buspirone) causing the nausea. Take it with meals at lower divided dosages or lower it to least effective ones.

Dr Hodge and another doctor agreed
