Buspar mechanism of action

Posted by chess on February 11, 2004, at 10:58:13

I've read all the posts on Buspar, but I'm still a little confused.

Is it correct to say that Buspar decreases anxiety because it decreases the amount of serotonin being released into the synapse?

If that is correct, and that anxiety is caused by too much serotonin in the synapse, then why does an SSRI like Lexapro also decrease anxiety if it increases the amount of serotonin in the synapse?
