Hi Rdenic,
I currently take 30mg of Buspirone a day, so I have a basic knowledge of the side effects associated with this medication. Therefore, it is to this knowledge that I am aware of the negative side effects of using Buspirone if you have a liver disease or a reduction in liver functionality. Any side effect that could possibly interfere with your cirrhosis of the liver is due to the body's build up and slow elimination of this medication. However, it is always wise to discuss your concerns with the prescribing physician so that he/she is aware of your medical condition and could make appropriate decisions pertaining to your safety and care. It is my hope that this information is helpful in some kind of way, and if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask and I will respond accordingly! Be blessed!
