Don’t drive! : It is generally suggested that you should not drive or operate machinery if Buspar makes you drowsy and affects your judgment. I therefore must suggest not driving under the influence of Buspar. The potential negative personal and legal consequences if an accident occurs while driving under the influence of this anxiolytic drug could be catastrophic. I wish you well with your health!

Buspar: What you have written is very confusing. Are you saying that you feel more anxiety or fear about driving when you take Buspar? I have never had a patient become more anxious on Buspar however there is a 1% to 10% chance of nervousness and a 0.1% to 1% risk for fearfulness with use of Buspar. Let your prescribing physician know.
