My doctor has prescribed me buspar for my anxiety. Is this a good drug?

Buspar is a pill used to treat sleeping difficulties and anxiety. It is a very old drug and has been replaced today by the benzodiazepines. The drug can help one fall asleep faster and also allow for longer peaceful sleep. Buspar belongs to a class of drugs known as anxiolytics. The drug works on the brain and produces a calming effect. The drug is also used to treat panic attacks, sweating and alcohol withdrawal. The biggest advantage of buspar is that unlike the benzodiazepines, it does not lead to rapid development of physical dependence or addiction. The generic pills are relatively cheap
