Question: Will I have to take buspirone everyday for it to be effective?

Answer: In short, yes. Buspirone is a medication that does need to be taken every day for it to have its full clinical effect. So in contrast to benzodiazepines which can be taken on as needed basis, buzpirone tends to be a medicine that needs to be taken everyday to really have its most effective treatment response.
