Sorry, I can't help you with your Buspar question. I did try it a number of years ago, but it didn't work for me. Perhaps I did not give it enough time. Apparently, it can take up to 4 weeks for it to become effective (like a SSRI).

Have you talked to your pdoc about a TCA? I am currently using Anafranil (started less than 2 weeks ago). I have heard the side effect profile of TCAs can be quite bad. So far, at 50 mg of Anafranil, the side effects have not been bad at all (dry mouth, some dizziness, fatigue). Anafranil is, I believe, one of the more sedating TCAs, but I have heard that Pamelor and Tofranil are not as sedating and also work on anxiety and depression.
