Greetings, today I had an appointment with the psychiatrist and he prescribed buspar 5 mg twice a day for anxiety, but it worries me because I take 15 mg of mirtazapine and 2 mg of lorazepam to sleep and it appeared to me on the internet that it is not good to mix buspar with mirtazapine. Is it safe to take all the medicines?

Hi, lybrate-user. If you had informed the doctor about the current medicine then he might be well aware about the drug interactions. But, if he was unaware then it is an issue. You should confirm it with him. Other thing ai wish to inform is that the medication you are taking are just temporary solution and they actually does not cure the issue. Gradually it will keep increasing. Also you might see that inspite of taking medicines, you will have just decrease in intensity of the symptoms and may not be completely free or feeling of well being may not be experienced. The better alternative to this condition is homoeopathic treatment. Now it is easy and very convenient to receive treatment online. You can consult online for proper homoeopathic treatment here.

Mirtazapine doesn't have any significant interaction with buspirone. You can safely take both together. Regards. Dr. Sartaj deepak.

Dear Lybrate user, do not google your symptom, because it will exaggerate the side effects and information is also not authentic. Study of medicine is different. If your body is not adaptive to the combination of these two. Then the good way is to report your side effects to the current psychiatrist. They will change the medication or dose. Increase your communication with your psychiatrist at initial level, report the issues if you are facing. The things shown in this song is also truth upto some level. Even if you think, go and take second opinion to calm down your mind. Because your mind is already diagnosed with anxiety, it can be due to overthinking. To reduce side effects, take care of your health with ample of fruits in a day, one big bowl of salad and juice. Maintain water drinking habit in a day proportionate to your body weight in a day. Kindly observe your body for right information.
