Buspirone is a non-sedating anti-anxiety drug that is used for some forms of fear, anxiety and urine marking. It does not stimulate appetite and has not been associated with any major side effects. As with other anti-anxiety drugs, buspirone may remove the inhibitions associated with fear and could lead to an increase in aggression. Buspirone may take several weeks to take effect and is therefore not useful for the treatment of temporary situational anxieties.
