> Hmm..interested...but if this turns out to be another 'Neurontin'..well..ughh. (Anti-Neurontin rant..:-)..That med acts *nothing* like benzos, from my experience, and I really see little evidence for it in treating anxiety, GAD, PAD, etc. As for it as an 'anti-depressant'...bahhh..what a stretch!

I took a good dose of Buspar (I think I took 15-20 mg's 2x a day), and a good benzo dose, and man I got a very excellent response. Maybe it's all the mucking around with a mix of dopamine, serotonin agonism/antagonism and the benzos.

==========================================
You may want to check prescribing info with your pharmacist. I believe that BZD's and Buspar should NOT be taken simultaneously. As a matter of fact, I understood it was best to let 6 weeks pass between the two - Buspar never working as well again after having taken BZD's.
