buspirone

Buspirone is a medication primarily used to treat anxiety disorders. Unlike traditional anti-anxiety drugs, such as benzodiazepines, buspirone works differently by affecting specific chemicals in the brain, particularly serotonin and dopamine. This helps reduce anxiety without causing sedation or dependence. It's often prescribed for those who experience chronic anxiety, and it usually takes several weeks to notice its full effects. People may experience side effects, but they are generally mild. Overall, buspirone is considered a safer long-term option for managing anxiety compared to some other medications.
