Clinical notes on buspirone.
The main aspects of the recent development of non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic drugs are the following: the possibility of giving drugs with peculiar anxioselective profile and with no benzodiazepine side-effects; the possibility of discriminating the anxiolytic from the hypnotic activity; the possibility of a nosographic delimitation: buspirone is used mainly in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorders. All these factors point to the possibility of a guided or planned anxiolysis with a more active participation from the patients.
