Hi Phillipa,

I'd head a different different spin on the same idea: that BuSpar doesn't seem to work as well, by comparison, for people with experience on benzos.

I think this is probably because a) BuSpar take a while to kick in; and b) it is generally a much milder anxiolytic. If a person has been on a benzo in the past, chances are their anxiety is pretty bad. They're used to getting it knocked away completely and immediately. By comparison, BuSpar might seem weak and take forever to kick in.

I think, though, there are some people for whom BuSpar works well, regardless of past benzo use. Others it just doesn't work for.
