What Causes Puffy Eyes And Rashes On Face After An Overdose Of Buspar?
After a night of drinking on an empty stomach, my boyfriend and I fought. In a fit of rage I grabbed a bottle of buspar (I was perscribed after a severe car accident for anxiety and my flashbacks) they were 15 mg bars i must of ate 16 or 17. my boyfriend panicked and stuck his fingers in my throat to male me vomit which was hard to do bc my stomach was empty except for the alcohol. i woke up this morning with my eyes puffy and red and some red blotches on my face. my right ear is sore. Could it be an allergic reaction? I never had that problem with this Med before. I have in the past had a similar reaction to effexor minus the ear pain and puffy eyes they gave me a steroid and atarax. Would it hurt to take the atarax to see if it takes the redness away? Its starting to itch.

Hello,
It could be an allergic reaction to the Buspar, but I wonder with everything that happened if it could be mild trauma to the face as well.
If you are having itching, taking Atarax would be reasonable, or Benadryl.
If you are having more swelling, or any difficulty breathing, you should go to the ER, but otherwise, if it is an allergic reaction, it should resolve in a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
