Brief Answer:
You may have few or no symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I don't think you will have withdrawal symptoms by stopping buspirone after using it for 7 days.
I think you should take it imediately if your doctor recommended it to you because it will improve your anxiety, insomnia and restlessness.
If you want to stop it and you have been on it for just 7 days most likely you will have few or no symptoms .
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
