I want to know if there is any contraindications between Domperidone  Metropol and Buspar medications. I already took one pill this evening.. My doctors did not want to seem to do the extent of the research..

Hi...the best thing I can suggest is u talk to ur local pharmacist....he can better tell u how these meds may interact...and a proper dosage schedule.

What special dietary instructions should I follow?

You may take buspirone either with or without food, but take it consistently, either always with food or always without food.

Avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice while taking buspirone.
