> I talked with a different doctor last week and found out that Buspar essentially amplifies the effects of Serzone.
Actually I think it's the other way around.
>I guess the two can be taken together but that the dosage of Buspar should be significantly reduced. My doctor reduced my dosage of Buspar from 15 to 5 mg (2.5 mg twice a day).
That's what the manufacturer recommends, yes (they're both made by the same company BTW).
> I haven't been taking even the lower dosage of Buspar because I find that it makes me extremely lightheaded and somewhat nauseous. Anyone else out there taking Buspar who experienced these same symptoms? Did they go away after a while?
Those are the main side effects of Buspar, and yes, they do go away after a while. Did you at least try taking the low dose?
