"i&#039;ve long used buspar, and it is an odd duck. alone, it did little, but in combination with other meds it&#039;s amazing. particularly ssris. it seems to amplify other meds, from painkillers to prozac. it&#039;s not something i&#039;m afraid to take, the boost is subtle but it definitely helps my anxiety slip away. i&#039;ve not noticed any sick withdrawal efffects, being off it once for 2 months. i take 30 mg/day in two 15 mg doses."
