Is Buspirone A Benzo

Do the pills have the same purpose or side effects? Do they look alike? They're both white & break into parts. ## They can both be used to treat anxiety, but they are not in the same class of medications. Buspirone is classified by the FDA as an anxiolytic, but Xanax is a Benzodiazepine that is used to treat panic disorders, anxiety, and some forms of insomnia, it also carries the risk of being habit forming, though Buspirone does not. Other side effects may be similar and include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and drowsiness. Are there any markings on the tablets in question? What shape are they?

I wanna know if I took these buspirone 15mg if it would feel the same as xanax? I have really bad anxiety and came across these? ## Hello, Nick! How are you? No, it does not work, nor affect you the same as Xanax. Buspirone must be taken for several weeks to a month, in order for it to reach its full level of efficacy in your body, to see if it will help you, or not. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and irritability. Alternatively, Xanax, can be taken, as needed, and will have some immediate effect to relieve anxiety. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No, this pill is not in the benzo family. It's more like Prozac, Zoloft or something like that. It's not narcotic if that's what your needing. Might ma...

Can you please tell me what it is because I found 10 of them in my sons room... ## This tablet contains 30mgs of Buspirone, the active ingredient in Buspar, which is most commonly used to treat anxiety. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes. Learn more: This isn't as dangerous or as habit forming as a Benzodiazepine, such as Xanax, but it still requires a prescription and is dangerous if used improperly.

is a buspar stronger than taking a xanax? ## Busbar are useless. Xanax are much stronger depending on the dose, 1 or 2. Take one 2mg ## Xanax contains the active ingredient Alprazolam, this is a Benzodiazepine, commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. BuSpar contains the active ingredient Buspirone, a much milder medication used to treat depression and anxiety. You can read about both here: Have these both been prescribed for you? ## Buspar is a long acting anti-anxiety medication that is taken daily, whereas xanax is a short acting anti-anxiety med that is taken on an as needed basis. The two can be combined, whereas the Buspar works on the general anxiety and the Xanax can be taken for more acute anxiety or for extremely stressful situations. I take buspar daily, and if I...

I had depression n anxiety 10yrs ago. Was given Seroxat n had very good results. Been off meds since then. Now depression n anxiety has returned (relapse). Been given Lexapro, Luvox, Prozac. No results at all! Seems resistant to anti depressants. What is happening? Do i go for only benzos to treat anxiety bcos anxiety is main problem not depression. appreciate any help. Thx. ## Hello, Ochomow! How are you? Have you ever tried just an anxiolytic, like Buspirone, if it's available there? It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, somnolence and nervousness. It's something you may want to talk to your doctor about. It may be what you need if taken with an antidepressant. ## Hope things have gotten better since you posted this.

I found some 3 scored "xanax".On 1 side there is a 5 in each bar. On the other side the first square has a TV in it. 2Nd squre is blank and 3 square has either a 1003 or 100B (hard to tell). What are these...found in sons room. ## Hello, Sillycats! How are you? This is not Xanax, I just want to note that first, to avoid confusion in others that may read this post. That said, it contains 15mgs of Buspirone, which is used to treat anxiety and though it is in a different class of medications, many people do think it's similar to Xanax, but it's not a benzodiazepine. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is the drug class of buspar related to that of clonopins & xanax? ## No, it is not. Buspar contains the active ingredient Buspirone, which is an anxiolytic. It is in a different chemical class, azapirone and isn't considered habit forming. Learn more Buspar details here. However, the others that you mentioned are benzodiazepines, which are known to be habit forming and an abrupt withdrawal could also result in seizures. Learn more Xanax details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

What mg klonopins say teva 54 on the pill? ## Hello, Mini! How are you? A round, white tablet with TEVA on one side and a 54 over a score line on the other is listed by them as actually containing 10mgs of Buspirone, which is an anxiolytic, but it is not a benzodiazepine, it works differently and must be taken regularly to maintain its effectiveness in the body. Its typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, restlessness, nervousness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Will these white bars with 555/1003 help me feel better at ALL since it's NOT A XANAX??? ## Buspar is not Xanax. It might help you but is not a Benzodiazepine.

This tablet is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and to be precise, they list it as containing 15mgs of Buspirone. The FDA classifies this medication as an anxiolytic.

Trying to see if the skinny white pill with tv100 3 on one side and 555 on the other side is an off-brand version of Xanax? ## A thin white bar-shaped tablet imprinted with [TV | |1003] on one side and [5 | 5| 5] on the other is reportedly identified as Buspirone hydrochloride (15 mg); used to treat various anxiety disorders. From what I could gather, Buspirone and Xanax are not chemically related and Buspirone's mechanism of action is different from that of benzodiazepines such as Xanax. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Buspirone Details I hope this helps!
