"Something told me that maybe I should cut back on my SSRI which is known to induce these symptoms, but something ALSO told me that I might NEED the BusPar after all, so I went back to the original 30 mg (15 mg twice a day). The next day, all the agitation related symptoms were gone BUT they returned a few days after that, leading me to conclude it had to be the SSRI (I was on a pretty decent dose of it)".
>>>>Yep, you're right....ssri's can overstimulate the 5HT1-A receptors, which Buspar can block...that's why you felt the anger and anxiety from the ssri when you stopped the buspar and also why when you later added the buspar that those symptoms stopped. SSRI's cause this anger and anxiety for many.
