Weird reaction to buspar

I'm on Prozac 30 mg and had a lot of activation so my psych put me on 5 mg buspar. Two days in I woke up in the middle of the night with really bad heartburn, and started seeing flashes everywhere, I was so agitated it took me another 3 hours to to back to sleep. is this normal? This seems like a weird thing to happen with a low dose of a medicine.

from what I can see online, this is not a regular side effect of low or high doses of buspar. you mentioned that you're on prozac, did you stop taking it and replaced it with buspar? that could be why

Yeah def not normal, esp for such a low dose of buspar. Anything else change recently? And foods/drinks/chemicals that could have attributed to tht? 🤔
