Your prescribing physician, who knows all your findings, is the one who should direct any tapering off schedule and then recommend another medication. In that way, any symptoms that may develop during a slow taper, will be accurately assessed as either return of symptoms or withdrawal symptoms. Your diarrhea and sleeping issue, which can be side effects of buspar, can also be addressed by him/her.
