text: what is "buspar" called in japanese?   eek! i'd never heard of this stuff before!  anyway, i found lots of sites with the word "buspar" or "buspirone", and some with "バスパー"  i also found this site, which indicates that it's available in japan - http://www.jisapp.com/suimin.htm they sell a pack called "apo buspirone", and one called buspin 10. the 2nd & 3rd items on the page. there are very nice pictures too, so if you go to a shop you know what you're looking for ...!  incidentally, don't bother looking at something called "バスパーシュア" - because it means "bath pursuer"!  good luck!
