Interventions
Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either buspirone or matching placebo. Following dose escalation, the target at study day 10 is to achieve the highest tolerated dose not exceeding 60 mg. Participants who are unable to reach the 60 mg dose or who need to be reduced from 60 mg due to tolerability will be maintained on 15 mg, 30 mg, or 45 mg, whichever is the highest dose tolerated.
Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive either buspirone or matching placebo. Placebo tablets will be identical in color and size to the buspirone tablets.
