Hey thanks for the information...Are there any articles you can point me to that discuss this further?
________________________________Low dose Prozac raises noradrenaline and dopamine levels in certain parts of the brain more than inhibiting serotonin reuptake. Even a 2.5mg dose would be enough. Some people got good results with even less. Buspar, perhaps unexpectedly, when taken in combination with Prozac, helps to raise DA and NA levels even more. So your doc might be right. The thing is that this stimulation is not very likely to help with anxiety in the long run.
I was on such a low dose of Prozac + Buspar myself for a while. I gained weight on it very fast though.
