HI there,
Buspar is prescribed for moderate to mild anxiety, but is not good for severe anxiety or panic attacks. It is possible that the Lexapro you are on is causing the agitation; call your pdoc and explain you are feeling agitated.

If you've ever been on a benzo for anxiety it probably won't work for you. Fondly, Phillipa

Is that right Phillipa? I took it once, it was hugely expensive, and not like benzos at all, although I noticed *something*. But you couldn't substitute or anything. Haven't some people said that you have to take it for a while?

Hi Declan, From what I've read some people do respond well to buspar. I think I've read that higher doses are required. I hope you're one of the lucky ones if you take it but Ed can probably answer this better than I can. He's just so busy what with working and he mentioned in another Thread that he has so many Babblemails and E-mails to answer. I know a lot of them are mine. I miss my Eddy baby! Fondly, Phillipa
