Actually Librium (a benzodiazepine) is used for alcoholism detox.

If you're 1/3 of the people who respond to BuSpar, you're in great company. BuSpar was an attempt to create another atypical antipsychotic. It did not have enough dopamine activity and was shelved to return as marketed as an anxiolytic for its 5HT activity. If BuSpar is taken at astronomical doses for experimental treatment of TD, it begins to have D2 activity.
