Always follow your doctor’s instructions. A common starting dose is 7.5 mg twice daily. Your doctor may increase this to 15 mg twice daily, depending on your response and tolerance. The maximum recommended daily dose is 60 mg.
Take Buspar with or without food. Consistency is key; try to take your doses at roughly the same times each day. This helps maintain consistent blood levels of the medication.
Don’t suddenly stop taking Buspar. Gradual tapering under your doctor’s guidance is necessary to avoid potential withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor will create a personalized plan to reduce your dosage safely.
| 7.5 mg | Twice daily | Typical starting dose |

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses. If you have any questions or concerns about your medication, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
