This is interesting. So some of you are having positive results from the combo of buspar and SSRI's I was on buspar many years ago, and although it did help a bit, it didn't really take care of the anxiety I have, nor did it touch the depression.
Dr. insisted I go on prozac and finally I did, and I took the buspar/prozac combo for quite a while. After a while I got hypomanic and extremely sad. My sadness became constant and so did mania. Finally it turned into worse depression. I read many 'brain books' and med books, and came across information that said you shouldn't ever combine the two: prozac and Buspar. Well, by the time I came across this article I had been so depressed I was crying all the time and sexually obsessed- (not a good thing when it is an obsession) and I had already quite the buspar and was only taking prozac. After a while I felt good again.
I never did make a copy of that article I read, but I do have another source of information from another book on meds that also states this: the combination of SSRI's and buspar can produce negative effects.
This is definately what happened to me.
The negative effects far outwieghed the positive.
