So about a couple weeks ago I sat down with my doc to discuss meds. I expressed my distaste for anti depressants and medication that requires lots of time to work. These don't work well for me so I said I preferred an "as needed" type of medication. 

They put me on buspar and told me I could take it whenver. Just when I'm feeling especially anxious and I don't have to take it every day. 

It came to my attention that it seems you do need to take it twice a day. Maybe its in my head, but I do feel results from taking it just as needed. I guess my question is, is that safe? I feel fine just taking it once or  twice a day every couple days but I haven't seen one person who was directed to take this just as needed.
