Buspar contains the active ingredient Buspirone, it used to treat anxiety disorders.

And no, it is in a different medication class and works different than Xanax, which contains the Benzodiazepine Alprazolam.

Buspar may still cause some side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, headache and drowsiness.

Are there any other questions?
