Holy cow - you have mentioned exactlyv what I've heard (and which is why I asked for feedback from people on this board!) - that Buspar is an expensive sugar pill, that is "weak" and doesn't begin to touch many people's anxiety or panic problems.
Coincidentally, I've been on Klonopin a long time and just recently started Zyprexa for my anxiety and obsessive racing thoughts, and to get me to fall asleep at night (I have awful insomnia). This combo is effective, but I'm also on EffexorXR, which unfortunately is proving to be too stimulating and activating for me, so I plan to go off that and onto a more sedating, calming a-d. Thanks for your input. The more I hear, the more I will not bother with Buspar. Besides, my pdoc seems to feel that I need to hone in on the right a-d (that my anxiety, etc. is packaged with my depression).
