How many hours apart do you take Buspar?

Hi Kt: I have read where it is recommended taking buspar doses at the same time each day, taking each dose with or without food. I have not had a problem with the way I take my doses though. I take one in the morning (which varies from 8 am to 10 am), one with lunch, and one around 5 or 6 pm. I don't take the nighttime dose too close to bedtime as it can tend to keep me awake if I do. The morning dose I take on an empty stomach, the one at lunch with food, and the later one with or without food. I don't see any difference in the effectiveness either way. It has not been a problem that I have had to be cognizant of. It works great for me! I just don't think about it all that much, so sometimes I skip doses. But it keeps on working just fine. (That could be why your doctor answered you the way he did, just telling you to take it 2 or 3 times a day, leaving it up to your discretion).
