Hello thanks for asking from HCM
I can understand your problem. Lithium carbonate is a mood stabiliser drug. Buspirone is an anti anxiety drug. Both drugs are safe to be taken together. But overdose of lithium is known to result in dizziness, ataxia, cloudy head, shakiness, blurred vision etc side effects.
If you have developed the symptoms after starting the drug then better to talk with your doctor and discuss about the management.
Thanks and Take care
