> Mitch, You stated that Buspar has helped you in the past with panic? I'm starting it tomorrow, adding it to St.John's Wort. Can you provide any further details about your experience with it?
> ThanksHi, The Buspar was *added* to Celexa in an attempt to snap me out of a bipolar depressive episode. It *did* reduce generalized anxiety along with the depression, but panic attacks weren't the reason for the Buspar addition. I remember I was at this place where I was taking Depakote+Klonopin+Celexa+Buspar and had absolutely ZERO anxiety, but.. I couldn't think at work! It (buspar) boosted the Celexa to pull me out of the depression, but with that particular combo/dosages I was fairly zombified as far as work-related tasks went. However the "ZERO" anxiety effect of that combo might be helpful for someone who needs their panic attacks to get under control (who knows?). All I can say for sure is that there is a direct correlation with Klonopin and not having panic attacks. Everything else helped, augmented, etc., but the K. is what dominates the absence of the panic.---Mitch
