Brief Answer:
My suggestions.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have gone through your query in detail and can certainly understand your concern towards your medication.

It was mentioned that you are only on anti-anxiety medications, and you are suffering from bipolar symptoms.

I'd advise you to be started on mood stabilizers also like Sodium Valproate and antipsychotics like Risperidone to combat your symptoms.

I advise you to consult your treating doctor regarding the dose alteration of buspirone, as it should not be done abruptly without supervision.

You can start the above-mentioned medications to get rid of your bipolar symptoms with the prescription of your treating doctor.

Hope this information would help you. Feel free to ask further.

Thank you.
