Busiprone (BuSpar) in Treating ADHD
BuSpar is an anti-anxiety agent sometimes used to treat ADHD and aspergers Sydrome
Busiprone (BuSpar) is a relatively new anti-anxiety medication which shows some promise in treating ADHD when psychostimulant medications are not effective or their side effects cannot be tolerated. It can also "potentiate" benefits of the serotonergic antidepressants. The side-effects of Busoprone are often better tolerated than those of other medications used for ADHD. It should always be remembered, that for reasons still not fully understood, every individual responds differently and uniquely to a specific medication. The effective administration of a specific medication for any psycho-neurological condition will still - and most likely will for quite some time - remain an art, rather than a science.
For adults with ADHD, it has been noted that women with ADHD often report especially severe PMS, and their spouses and children may be very troubled by their exceptional irritability and impatience during this time of the month. Medications such as BuSpar are often extremely effective in relieving PMS symptoms.
