ZeeZee:
I think the Buspar is worth a shot. . .
Buspar does many of the things that you describe having experienced with SJW: it gets rid of anticipatory anxiety and other GAD symptoms. The two drugs will either potentiate each other (a good thing), or make the anxiety worse (yes, this too can happen). Buspar is routinely used to augment all kinds of serotonin boosters and should in theory do the same for your SJW by modulating its effects. It won't cancel out the effectiveness of SJW, however, because the two drugs are working on different receptors.
Give Buspar about three weeks to build up in your system. You should then be able to discontinue without withdrawals.
Best of luck, jflange
