My daughter is almost 18 weeks pregnant and was just put on Buspar for her extreme overthinking of everything in order to gain control of her life as she works full time as a 2d grade teacher and is always stressed. We’re concerned about any/all side effects, both short term and long term for both the baby and herself. Would greatly appreciate everything you can tell me! Concerned mom/grandma to be.
Buspirone - What are the effects of Buspar on the baby in the second/third trimester?

Hi, Concernedgrandma!
According to the literature there has been no evidence of fetal damage in animals but human evidence is lacking:

It's most likely a situation of benefit -vs- risk.
Best regards and congratulations to you both.
