What makes Buspirone a good option for anxiety?

⚪ Clinical pearl: Buspirone's main advantages lie in its safety and tolerability profile when compared to other anxiolytics. Unlike benzodiazepines, it has no potential for dependence, tolerance, withdrawal, or abuse. It also does not impair cognition or increase the risk of falls. Compared to SSRIs, buspirone stands out for its lack of sexual side effects and its potential to relieve SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction and bruxism. This makes it a strong choice when tolerability is a primary concern.
