Azapirones have more tolerable adverse effects than many other available anxiolytics, such as [[benzodiazepine]]s or SSRIs. Unlike benzodiazepines, azapirones lack [[abuse potential]] and are not [[Substance use disorder|addictive]], do not cause [[cognitive deficit|cognitive/memory impairment]] or [[sedation]], and do not appear to induce appreciable [[Drug tolerance|tolerance]] or [[physical dependence]]. However, azapirones are considered less effective with slow onset in controlling symptoms.<ref>{{Cite journal|title = Management of Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Primary Care: Identifying the Challenges and Unmet Needs|date = 2010|journal = Prim Care Companion J Clin Psychiatry|doi = 10.4088/PCC.09r00772blu|pmid = 20694114 |volume=12 |issue=2 |pmc=2911006 |vauthors=Davidson JR, Feltner DE, Dugar A}}</ref>
