"i have gad and panic disorder going on 10 years. i&#039;ve been on zoloft the entire time. i had a relapse this year and went on buspirone.  it worked for several weeks but didn&#039;t hold up.  i steadily went all the way up to the max of 60 mg/day but this wasn&#039;t for me.  i did have some anti-anxiety effects, but it made me feel empty and i didn&#039;t enjoy doing things.  i eventually got off of this.  i&#039;m now taking gabapentin (in addition to zoloft 200 mg) and i like it a lot better so far."
