Usually paroxetine and buspirone can be safely combined to manage anxiety symptoms. There is low but definite risk of serotonin syndrome with this combination. Ideally, it should be started at low doses and gradually increased monitoring adverse effects and avoiding maximum doses while in combination. Further advice can only be given after knowing the specifics of the case. Other alternatives to this combination may also be possible depending on patients history.
