I'm also tapering down my BuSpar dose from 30-20mg at the same time, cuz I was fed-up of the side -effects and not much GAD improvement.So that might also have an impact.

I go to my PDoc tomorrow too, and will discuss dropping the BuSpar altogether in favour of daily Klonopin again. I want to try augmenting Klonopin with Adderall or Provigil, but I've got a feeling my doc won't go for it :(.

I am taking a low dose Klonopin and was thinking in trying another thing like Buspar.
What are the side effects you get from Buspar?. Klonopin at even extreme low doses still cause me some sedation.
U think I do nopt have GAD but more social anxiety, worry and low mood, maybe a bit depressed.
I do not think you will have problems with DL Phenulalanine and blood pressure, unles you already are hypertensive or have the tendency. Maybe adding magnessium could help (I used to like a Ca/Mg/Zn tablet for anxiety). Anyway, be careful.
I understand thyrosine does not raises blood pressure like phenylalanine.
Another product I am interested in is pregnenolone see socialfear.com
Never tried it yet.
Yes I tried picamilon and can´t tell if it did too much.
Thanks and good luck
