Does buspar cause weight gain or weight loss?

I've noticed once I switched from 60mg a day to 30mg, my appetite fluctuates.

I've lowered my dose because 60mg made me feel real drowsy and I lost my appetite.

I've been on 30mg for about a month now and I've noticed I've lost about 20lbs.

During the transition, my anxiety spiked and I was naseus every time I ate food. I can eat normally now but the weight loss is concerning.

I started taking 5mg twice daily about a month ago and have noticed that I am eating more than usual. I don’t think I necessarily feel more hungry but when I do eat, I definitely eat more than I usually do and have gained 2 lbs recently. I believe Buspar is decreasing my ability to feel satiated.

Never been on it so I can’t say, sorry.

I've had no appetite since taking Buspar for over a year and a half

Hi! It can go either way but buspirone is considered pretty neutral so changes in weight are uncommon:

"Metabolic
Uncommon (0.1% to 1% of users): Weight gain, weight loss"
