Have you read the possible side effects of aspirin?  Oy vey!

Buspirone (Buspar) has moderate affinity for brain D2-dopamine receptors.
This is why there is a very small chance of tardif dyskinesia in patients
taking it.  Clinical experience in controlled trials have failed to inentify
any significant neuro-leptic like activity.  A small fraction of buspirone
treated patients have developed a syndrome of restlessness, starting shortly
after treatment.

In reality though that chance is very small indeed, and buspirone has many
clinical advantages over conventional anti-anxiety medication like the
benzodiazepine family of drugs, such as diazepam, lorazepam, lormetazepam
etc

The more commonly observed untoward events associated with the use of
buspirone not seen include dizziness, nausea, headache, nervousness,
lightheadedness, and excitement.
In all drug therapy the prescriber has to weigh up the gains, against the
possible problems.

You should always tell the prescriber if any of these rare side effects
occur: -

Chest pain; confusion; fast or pounding heartbeat; fever; incoordination;
mental depression; muscle weakness; numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness in
hands or feet; skin rash or hives; stiffness of arms or legs; sore throat;
uncontrolled movements of the body.

All I can add is that I used to be the pharmacist for the psychiatric and
geriatric psychiatric wards at a hospital.  In over ten years of practice I
have never seen a patient develop and rare/serious side effects, including
tardif dyskinesia, in patients taking buspirone.

I hope this is of some help
