Unfortunately buspar has some antipsychotic like d2 antagonism. Gepireone is a much cleaner and more potent version. It should have been approved. It would have been a usefull tool.

Gingko may make emsam a little too stimulating. The effects of gingko on MAO have been disputed, though ginkgo can cause irritability and activation in some people.

I personally found that ginkgo improved sleep. It has a combination of 5-ht1a agonism and 5-ht2a antagonism, which may be benificial for sleep.

Long term use can have a restoritive effecton on the 5-ht1a receptor population. I found that a months use would sometimes restore responces to serotonergic antidepressants.

Unfortunately, the herb has some effects on acetylcholinsterase which may be part of its memory enhancing effects. This may worsen some types of depression.
