Thanks for the info about your experience on Buspar a couple of times. I have heard that it is kind of "weak" - doesn't do much re: anxiety/racing thoughts, which I have (big time) and that's why I'm asking about it.
Interesting how every time you STOPPED the Buspar, you noticed an increase in your depression. Hmmmmm ... as far as I know, Buspar has NO a-d properties, so it's "mysterious" why that happened!
I've been on Klonopin for anxiety for a long time, and can tell you that it has worked wonders for me. It still helps, but I've recently been dx'd with BipolarII/hypomania and need something "stronger" than Klonopin (just started Lamictal).
Klonopin is slow acting versus other benzo's such as Xanax, so I think that if you do try it, you'll have to give it some time to kick in, like with the a-d's.
Good luck!
