I am someone who could not tolerate Zoloft; exactly why, I can't remember, this was a period when I was going through the 'standard' meds for ADD and depression, and there were severe probs attendant on each. My starter pack of Zoloft was barely touched, so it must have been something dramatic (and fast). Anyway I have read here that Buspar decreases serotonin levels; is this true? Could that be why some people who can't tolerate SSRI's like Buspar, and vice versa? After more than a month on Buspar, I feel the closest to 'well' that I have ever felt in my life (I'm 35).
