I have been on the Zoloft for 7wks. I am starting to feel the irritability kick in. I recently started Buspar (10 mg d). I am hoping this will do the trick. The thing with Zoloft that I realized is what others have feared: it tends to take care of the unhappiness, but gives you a hyperactivity that at first feels good, but as time goes on this hype turns into a sort of mania that can be scary. The Buspar helps me control that anxiety. You might ask. What is your dx? (Diagnosis) if you don't mind....
