Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Buspirone is an anti anxiety drug. It is not used for treatment in ulcers. But anxiety can lead to increase acid secretion. If physician suspect anxiety as a cause of increase acidity, which can lead to ulcer formation, then they can prescribe buspirone.
In medical history you mentioned about Prilosec, which contain Omeprazole. It is the primary and one of the best available treatment for acidity induced ulcers.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
Wish you good health.
