Buspirone and Xanax are anti-anxiety medications, but they work in completely different ways. While Xanax calms the body by binding with GABA receptors, buspirone acts on serotonin receptors. Unlike Xanax, buspirone is not addictive and causes less sedation than benzos.

Is buspar a safe alternative for xanax?
Absolutely!
Is Xanax and Buspar the same?
No. There is a huge difference in the Buspar vs Xanax drug classes. While Xanax is one of the benzodiazepines, Buspar has its drug class and is not related to any other anxiolytic. Another difference in the Buspar vs Xanax mechanism of action is that Buspar works not with GABA receptors but triggers serotonin receptors. In terms of effectiveness, both medicines are equally effective in treating anxiety. Although the onset of effects of Buspar vs Xanax drugs is rapid, Xanax has a bigger potential for inducing dependency and side effects. Always consult with the doctor before switching the medication. Only a medical doctor has the right to prescribe, review, or substitute the medication during treatment.

What is an alternative to Seroquel for Anxiety?
This is simply not true. Many antidepressants can actually INCREASE anxiety, though your body may vary. Buspar is something worth giving a shot, as well as Benadryl. There are also the old and trusted Klonipin, Xanax, and Ativan, though those have a risk of addiction--particularly Xanax. Most antidepressants help with anxiety. Seroquel is strong stuff.
