Oh yeah, for years and years. I was just trying adding some buspar to my celexa to reduce the anxiety level. Well, it did do that. I went from being all jittery and jumpy to being unafraid of anything, talking to myself, and having rage attacks. Didn't result in any physical stuff mind you, but man I was pissed! I got quite snappy to customers on the telephone and got into a few unnecessary arguments with people at work. I don't really know if it made me hypomanic (I slept ok), but wow did it change my personality! If you are looking for a booster for an SSRi, I think that would be a good choice. If you are bipolar, be very careful, start out at a low dose and wait a couple of weeks before you increase it any. Just watch for a hostility reaction. This could be an alternative explanation, but I also have ADHD, and have had paradoxical reactions to anti-anxiety meds in the past.Mitch
