I have read that small doses of Buspar seem to negate the side effects of SSRI's.
I have GAD and took Buspar. It worked great for a while, then it started giving me panic attacks, something I never had... and because of it's short half life, if I missed a does, it was bad... anxiety, chest pain, etc....
I got the buspar from my internest, but finally found a psych doc for help.. she put me on a very small does of zoloft to help me get off the Buspar.. I have to admit, while I was taking a low dose of BOTH, I felt the best I have ever felt.. I slowly stopped the buspar, then the Zoloft started making me edgy and giving me stomach problems.. and so I slowly stopped that as well... I am now trying a low 37.5 mg does of effexor XR.. not bad, fewer side effects, but not as good at the anxiety.. I want to try lexapro... and I may try a small single daily dose of Buspar to get rid of SSRI side effects...
I found a great web site for this kind of research
http://www.biopsychiatry.com/venbus.html
follow the links at the bottom... they're great...
anyone else heard of this buspar/SSRI thing?
Good luck and Thanks!
