> Of course it has AD properties. It augments serotonergic ADs (SSRIs, Effexor, etc.) and acts as an AD by itself in higher doses. It's a partial agonist at the 5-HT1a receptor which is believed to be involed in depression. (It's not a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.)Elizabeth, I have read this about the serotonin and Buspar. Do you know just what it means in layman's terms? My issue is that the meds that I have tried that do something to serotonin tend to not be tolerated well. Is buspar primarily a dopamine effecting med, or is there more serotonin action than I originally thought? Any information goes to helping me consider potential side-effects that I typically get on SSRI's and others that have serotonin effects. Thanks. -terra
