"i was on 15 mg of buspirone for many months. i recently lost my job and have a lot of anxiety and depression. i am seeing a psychiatrist who said my dose was too low and upped it to 60 mg a day. i still don&#039;t feel like it is working. i am also on zoloft. i still am having a lot of anxiety. years ago i was on ativan and it was a miracle drug for me. i would like to stop the buspirone and just take the ativan as needed. i see my psychiatrist in a couple weeks and am going to suggest that. i also have the feeling of a huge lump in my throat that i know is stress related."
