Zoloft is supposed to have some mild dopaminergic properties, and I thought I read somewhere that Buspar may as well. So maybe when you combine the two, the dopamine effect, which is like what's described below for me, comes into play. I.e., it's like amphetamine.

Just lots of energy, pep, get up and go. I had to keep on the move to keep up with what my body and my mind wanted to do. Not comfortable sitting still. Had to get up and do something. But that's just me. It was a bit much for my sensitivity and I was not able to stay with it for more than a week. Thus I never got a chance to see if it would have been magical or not. I remember a girl Ruth who used to come here who said she was "treading water" on Zoloft+Buspar. Nothing magical to her I guess. To me the combo was more stimulating than any amphetamine.
