Buspar: Buspar - antianxiety agent used to treat anxiety symptoms & anxiety disorders. It does not have muscle relaxant effects, lead to tolerance & usually doesn't cause sedation. This is one of my favorite medications but I have to warn patients that it works by taking away or reducing symptoms rather then making them feel “different”. Not addictive.
