So, is Buspirone safe during pregnancy? There is no clear answer to this question because of the lack of research data. So, what are the side effects of Buspar? There are certain common adverse reactions like drowsiness or euphoria, yet all of them are a subject of investigation because the Buspirone mechanism of action is not researched completely yet.
During the first months of life, a child receives most of the nutrients from breast milk. At the same time, harmful substances also can get to the growing organism through it , the same is also true for medications. So, can breastfeeding while on Buspirone have an impact on the infant? The National Center for biotechnology information states that maternal doses of Buspirone up to 45 mg daily can produce low levels in milk , but the information about the levels and their impact is limited.
Data about long term Buspirone use while breastfeeding or using smaller doses, like Buspar 10mg , is also unavailable. Based on this, it is recommended that patients and doctors consider using another drug, especially while breastfeeding newborns, an infant with low birth weight or prematurely born child. In a patient, who has been taking Buspar during the pregnancy and postpartum, Buspar was detectable in breast milk up to the thirteenth day postpartum. In the serum of a newborn, which was breastfed by mother taking Buspar 45mg daily, Buspirone was detectable up to the thirteenth and twenty-first day postpartum.
And absolutely unpredictable results may be caused by substance abuse, intentional or accidental overdose, and mixing Buspar with other substances, like taking Buspirone and weed. Substance abuse is dangerous for both mother and child. It is imperative to prevent the use of any substances that may affect the health and life of the future baby. While Buspirone is considered to be relatively not harmful to the adult patient, a lot of its aspects are still unknown. There are researches committed, but only in rats and rabbits , yet those are irrelevant for the human reproductive process.
Buspar can be transmitted through breast milk but what risks it can pose to the infant are yet to be researched. In case one becomes addicted to the Vanspar then it is time to seek professional help. It may take several weeks to see results. BuSpar Overview Updated: May 11, Common side effects of BuSpar include nausea, headache, and lightheadedness. How was your experience with BuSpar?
