> I saw in a research abstract that buspar increases dopamine and NE (by up to 240%) but decreases serotonin (by 50%). Given these effects, it is a mystery how it can augment an AD or treat anxiety. As is often the case, theory vs reality is perplexing.

It is important to remember that it is no more than theory as to how any of these drugs work to produce their clinical effects - both good and bad.
