"i have adhd, depression, and social anxiety disorder. i&#039;ve had little trouble treating the first two but neither of the medications i take for them have any effect on my sad. in fact, it&#039;s been a simple fact the entirety of my adult life. buspar was a godsend. not even a week after starting it, i was at the pharmacy to pick up some of my partner&#039;s rx&#039;s and i just started talking out of the blue to an elderly gentleman in front of me - the total opposite of what i would have done normally! i&#039;m only beginning on my second month on a small (15 mg) dose to start with, but i actually feel like a part of humanity now. for some people it works, others not so much. just give it a try if you&#039;re thinking about it."
