What Are The Side Effects Of Consuming Tab Buspar?
Hi, I started taking 5 mg of Buspar, twice daily, 2 days ago, and since then I have been very dehydrated, unable to quench my thirst. Could this be a side effect? Other than that, the drug is already working remarkably, so I would hate to have to stop using it if this is the case. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hello,
It is common for patients taking Buspar to report dry mouth or being constantly thirsty. But, first we should confirm that being thirsty is due to Buspar.
Anxiety itself will cause dry mouth. I also recommend to get a diabetes testing done to rule out diabetes.
After confirming no such pathologies, we can determine that it is due to Buspar. Then, can stop taking this meds for a few days and observe changes.
Discuss this with your caring doctor.
