Re: Buspar! What is it good for?

Buspar's major advantage relative to SSRI's and the (far more anxiolytic) benzodiazepines is that it does not seem to disrupt sleep architecture. After starting Klonopin at 0.25 mg bid I experienced relief from anxiety far superior to anything I got from Buspar, but immediately (the first moment I fell asleep) started getting hypnagogic hallucinations and cataplexy. The great drawback of many psychotropic meds is their suppression of stage 3 and 4 sleep. Buspar, though a feeble anxiolytic, interferes minimally with restful sleep.
