Hi,

I have been on Buspar for about a year! I first titrated up to 60mg which is the max, but could not tolerate it, so I went down to 45mg for awhile, but now I'm at 30mg. I take 15mg in the am, and 15mg at night. I also take Klonopin for anxiety, so my pdoc and I thought MAYBE I could reduce the number of meds I'm on (I'm a walking drugstore!) by stopping the Buspar.

Bad move - within a few days of being off the Buspar I began to feel bad so I asked to be put back on the 30mg level.

You sound like you might be sensitive to meds (I am!) so if a low dose of Buspar works for you, stick with it. You can always increase it should you feel the need.

Buspar has a kind of a bad rap as being weak, like a placebo, etc., but I just think it is a gentle, subtle med that works effectively.
