[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 321378, member: 2423"] Welcome! Buspar is NOT an antidepressant. It is an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) medication used for the management of anxiety disorders, although it can be an augmenting agent for treatment-resistant depression. Side effects include dizziness, headache, nervousness, sedation, excitement, nausea and restlessness. Sometimes lowering the dose can minimize the side effects. Usual dose range is 20 to 30 mg a day (with a maximum of 60 mg a day) so I'm wondering if your son's psychiatrist gave him too high a dose and that is why the side effects are so severe. Your son should check in with his psychiatrist since he's not doing well right now. Perhaps he needs a different medication entirely. [/QUOTE]
