3600 to 4800 mg/day of Buspar for social phobia?

Posted by Severe Socially Phobic (Argh!!!) on November 9, 1999, at 10:36:53

I recently read bupsar requires a much high dose than was originally believe in order to successfully treat social phobia. Parke-Davis'1999 study only went up to 3600 mg/day. Other, however, have gone as high as 4800 mg/day to get relief from social phobia. this seems like it could be ideal, getting away from the plethora of negative side effects experienced with the SSRI's and SNRI's.

Any experiences, please share.

I find this hard to believe, as maximum recommended
dosage of Buspar is between 45-60mg per day,
depending on where in the world you are.

Buspar is associated with kidney problems as well,
so this kind of dose seems ludicrous.
