> 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.

If you are on benzo monotherapy...it may be the best alternative to SSRI's and the like. (In combination).
