What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Buspar?
Do not use Buspar if you are allergic to buspirone, or if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take Buspar before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.
Before taking Buspar, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
* kidney disease; or
* liver disease.
If you have any of these conditions, you may not be able to use Buspar, or you may need a dosage adjustment or special tests during treatment.
