> In my experience with Buspar on its own, it was quite good at managing anticipatory anxiety but, oh my, is it ever useless for panicky sensations! I also found Buspar on its own to be more likely to produce s/e's like sleepiness/wooziness, even a downer effect. So I understand how it got such a bad reputation!
> It is a completely different story when Buspar is put into a combination with an SSRI. Buspar absolutely takes the edge off of SSRIs and yet allows one to enjoy the motivating effects of serotonin w/o all the mania/ and low-grade anxiousness that sometimes comes with that. Also, I recently read an article claiming that Buspar enhances the dopamine effect of some SSRIs like Zoloft...

Well, I am taking the buspar with provigil and zoloft and that is my question and hope too. That I can drop the zoloft and just do the buspar and provigil. I have dropped from 150mg to 100 and so far so good. I think the provigil has some anti-anxiety properties too, after I got used to it that is. I had to start with 25mg but I was up to 200 after 7-10 days or so. I am sorry if I am repeating myself, I am talking about this on a couple of threads and I don't know where I have said what. Memory not so good. Maybe from current meds or all the self-medication in the past...sorry I ramble, are we still on the zoloft thread??
