Have been reading & digging thru the babble archives.
Pindolol is a unique beta blocker that may boost a SSRI & has some mild anxiolytic properties on its own. Buspar works for anxiety but is slow to start & expensive.
Buspar + pindolol is more effective than buspar alone. The pindolol speeds up initial response time as well as increases the buspar response. Buspar seems to work about 50% when used alone.
The combo of the 3 meds is reported to be quite effective if you can tolerate them. Response in the 80% range ?
The benefit over a benzo ( with klonopin probably the best choice of the benzos ) is lack of dependency risk.
YMMV
