Get a buspirone (generic BuSpar) prescription online for anxiety

Buspirone is neither an SSRI nor an MAOI. Unlike SSRIs (like fluoxetine or sertraline) or MAO inhibitors (like isocarboxazid or selegiline), buspirone specifically targets neurotransmitters that help calm anxiety.

It doesn’t affect serotonin reuptake or block monoamine oxidase, so it works differently from many other antidepressants or medications for anxiety.

Buspirone can interact with other medications, so review all prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Avoid MAO inhibitors (isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine, selegiline, rasagiline, linezolid) and certain heart medications like diltiazem unless instructed by your provider. Other drugs that may interact include anticonvulsants (phenytoin, phenobarbital), muscle relaxants, and medications affecting liver enzymes (ritonavir, dexamethasone).

Buspirone is only available with a prescription. You can schedule a telehealth appointment through Sesame to discuss your symptoms, request a new prescription, or refill an existing Rx.

Note that all prescriptions are at the discretion of your healthcare provider. Providers on Sesame cannot prescribe controlled substances.

In addition to buspirone, there are several types of medications used to treat anxiety and depression, and they work in slightly different ways.

SSRIs, such as escitalopram (generic for Lexapro), sertraline (generic for Zoloft), fluoxetine (generic for Prozac), citalopram (generic for Celexa), and paroxetine (generic for Paxil) help regulate serotonin, a brain chemical that affects mood.

SNRIs, like venlafaxine ER (generic for Effexor XR) and duloxetine DR influence both serotonin and norepinephrine to support emotional balance. Tricyclic antidepressants, including doxepin, work on multiple neurotransmitters to improve mood and reduce anxiety symptoms.

Many of these medications are available as generic medications, often at low prices. For personalized anxiety treatment or mental health medications, you can see a Sesame provider to find the option that’s best for you.
