Research studies have shown that Buspar works as well as benzodiazepines but with fewer side effects. Buspar is also not habit-forming like benzodiazepines are. In a study, Buspar worked as well as Xanax, but it resulted in fewer side effects as well as a lower risk for withdrawal symptoms. The more common side effects that can occur with the use of buspirone include dizziness, nausea, headache.
