How long does buspar stay in your system - 45k?
Buspar (buspirone) has a half-life of about 2-3 hours, meaning it takes this amount of time for half of the drug to be eliminated from your system. It usually takes around 5-6 half-lives for a medication to be almost completely cleared from the body. Therefore, Buspar is generally expected to be out of your system within 15 hours after your last dose.

How many drivers had drugs other than alcohol in their bodies?
1 in 5
Drugs and driving may be a bigger problem than generally recognized. A New England Journal of Medicine report on drivers without alcohol in their systems who were stopped by police for reckless driving found that 45% had marijuana and 25% had cocaine in their systems.
A study by the Insurance Institute for Traffic Safety of interstate tractor-trailer drivers found that 15% of all drivers had marijuana, 12% had non-prescription stimulants, 5% had prescription stimulants, 2% had cocaine, and fewer than 1% had alcohol in their systems.
A National Transportation Safety Board investigation of fatal truck accidents found that stimulants were the most frequently unidentified (15%) drug class among fatally injured truck drivers.
It appears that there is little public awareness of drugged driving and that drugged drivers are less likely to be apprehended than are drunken drivers. In that sense, drugged driving may be safer than drunken driving. However, a person killed by a drugged driver is just as dead as one killed by a drunken driver.

Should I fast before a CBC hematology test?
Depends. My Doc said no fasting. I assume the "call" is up to your physician (there are several CBC test procedures)

You only need to fast before blood work if you are having a fasting blood glucose blood test. Not each blood drawing will require you to fast. If you are required to fast, you may still drink water before your blood work.
