Medication Information
Buspar is used to treat
certain anxiety disorders or to relieve the symptoms of
anxiety. However, Buspar usually is not used for anxiety
or tension caused by the stress of everyday life. It is
not known exactly how Buspar works to relieve the
symptoms of anxiety. Buspar is thought to work by
decreasing the amount and actions of a chemical known as
serotonin in certain parts of the brain.
