I've been off Buspar for one month. My usually controlled blood pressure has been rising.

Hi, ilvolo!
It's unlikely because buspirone has an extremely short half life meaning the drug is out of your system within a day or two. If you were being treated for anxiety could it be that your body is reacting to stress now that you're off the medication?
I'd report this to your doctor for professional advice and to rule out any underlying condition.
