Buspar (buspirone) isn't an antidepressant, or related to any other anxiety meds such as benzodiazepines so it is unlikely to cause the issues you had with SSRI. In fact when taken with SSRIs, SNRIs and serotonergic TCAs it often moderates some of their side-effects.

My doctor didn’t say anything about what to expect.
If doctors stopped treating their patients like mushrooms there'd be much less need for forums like this sub and 'Dr' Google could retire.
