I'll be waiting in the Pagoclone line with my wallet open.
Hopefully I'll be off my Klonopin addiction by then.
Why do I suck so much at these habit forming medicines?-John

They're very similar drugs, and Buspar acts as an antidepressant in high doses (around 45-90 mg). (It's quite safe; Buspar was originally studied as an antipsychotic, and although it was completely ineffective, doses over 1 g were well tolerated.)
