Switching from Buspar to Lexapro

Hello! I have previously been taking 5mg of buspar everyday for the past six weeks. It’s not doing much for me and I want to switch back to a medication I know works for me, which is Lexapro. Could I stop taking buspar today and take lexapro tomorrow? Or is there any waiting period i need to acknowledge?

Most drugs affecting the brain should be weaned from.
Yes, you can stop Buspar one day and start taking Lexapro the next day.
