Dr. Al Hegab answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Probably : Insomnia can be a side effect of buspirone, rare though, or may be due to something else, e.g. another drug you are on or simple anxiety, if mild and not really affecting your performance, you may wait it out and would go away, if otherwise, kindly talk to your prescriber. Wish you well
