Psychiatric meds: 45 mg of Buspar (buspirone) is not too much. It is within the dosing range. A 1mg of Lexapro does not make sense. It doesn't come that way. If you have real concerns about this, please discuss it with your doctor.

No problem.: No likelihood of serotonin syndrome. Buspar (buspirone) 45 mg daily is a very safe dose and it sounds like your doctor is likely aware of you concerns and is trying to very slowly start you on the Lexapro by using the liquid at 1 mg daily (a very low dose).
