Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval. Some products that may interact with this drug are: antidepressants (including SSRIs such as fluoxetine, tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline/nortriptyline, trazodone), haloperidol. Taking MAO inhibitors with this medication may cause a serious (possibly fatal) drug interaction. Avoid taking MAO inhibitors (isocarboxazid, linezolid, metaxalone, methylene blue, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, rasagiline, safinamide, selegiline, tranylcypromine) during treatment with this medication. Most MAO inhibitors should also not be taken for two weeks before and after treatment with this medication. Ask your doctor when to start or stop taking this medication. Other medications can affect the removal of buspirone from your body, which may affect how buspirone works. Examples include azole antifungals (such as itraconazole), corticosteroids (such as dexamethasone), diltiazem, nefazodone, rifamycins (such as rifabutin), ritonavir, drugs used to treat seizures (such as phenytoin, phenobarbital), among others.

Check the labels on all your medicines (such as allergy or cough-and-cold products) because they may contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely.
