"i don&#039;t like ssris. the fact that buspar can deal with serotonin receptors without causing the loss of libido, weight gain, and tiredness makes it perfect to treat generalized anxiety. plus it&#039;s non-addictive like many benzodiazepine for panic attacks. i wish they made it in extended release form, though my doctor said it&#039;s okay to just take my full dose in the morning - and that seems to be working fine for me. it&#039;s the only medication that focuses mainly on the brain&#039;s serotonin levels that i like."
