Hi, cherpo!
I have a couple questions if you don't mind. What dose are you taking and how long have you been on BuSpar? Can you describe the feelings you're having?

Thanks, Wildcat
I am taking 15 mg in the am and 10 mg in the evening. I wake up in the mornings feeling like brain fog or I don’t know what I’m doing. Hard to explain. Thanks, Wildcat
I found this info that might help answer your question:
"Yes, buspirone (generic for BuSpar) can potentially cause brain fog in some individuals as a side effect.
While commonly prescribed for anxiety and generally considered a non-sedating medication, some users have reported experiencing cognitive effects like forgetfulness, spaciness, and difficulty concentrating while taking buspirone."
Does that sound like your symptoms?
Generally, most side effects gradually resolve over a week or two after starting the medication. If this has been an ongoing problem you should alert your doctor.
