I agree with Ace about both things (that it's a skipped dose, and second trials can work). On my second trial with nortriptyline, beginning last summer, the drug has put me into a state of complete remission in terms of depression- which is what it had done the first time, about 13 years ago. And Buspar, in particular, is a benign drug as far as skipped doses go- I've been skipping doses of it lately because of a decrease in anxiety and because the drug is _inconvenient_ to take- 3x/day with meals- I'm always carrying around a little bottle of pills- and I've noticed no ill effects, either from the missed dose itself, or from the dose I take later.
