Precautions Seeing the physician regularly while taking buspirone is important.
The physician will check to make sure the medicine is working as it should and will note unwanted side effects. Some people feel drowsy, dizzy, lightheaded, or less alert when using buspirone. Anyone who takes these drugs should not drive, use machines or do anything else that might be dangerous until they have found out how the drugs affect them. Buspirone may also add to the effects of anesthetics, including those used for dental procedures. Anyone taking buspirone should check with his or her physician before using any CNS depressants.
