I have been on Buspirone for over 2 years. I have begun to experience dizziness and a feeling of being lightheaded. After 2 years could the medication all of a sudden cause these symptoms?
Buspirone’s side effect of dizziness?

Adding to the previous response, be sure to see your doc to figure it out. Dizziness and being lightheaded is no joke. They are also both symptoms I experience when I am anxious. I’ve been on Buspirone for 21 years, and periodically I do get episodes of dizziness. We are all different, talk to your doc to figure it out. I hope this helps, good luck to you!

Hi, champ!
It's highly unlikely that this medication is causing it unless you've recently increased your dosage. Talk to your doctor to get their opinion and also to rule out any other cause.
Regards and I hope you're feeling better soon.
