BuSpar: Buspirone has a strong affinity for serotonin 5HT1a receptors and it acts as a partial agonist, It also has a weak affinity for serotonin 5HT2 receptors and acts as a weak antagonist on dopamine D2 autoreceptors. It also has the advantage over drugs like Ativan and Valium in that it is non-addictive and doesn't lead to a withdrawal syndrome.
