> I hope the buspar works for you both. It doesn't have a very good track record but your mileage may vary. If I had been your doctor (I'm a doctor, but not a medical doctor) I think I would have tried a benzo first. They have a very high success rate. So if the buspar doesn't work for either of you go to benzos next, if your doctor will cooperate, but that's a whole 'nother story.

> BrittThanks for your response, Britt. Actually I started on .25 mg Xanax as needed with the Lexapro, and my doctor really does not want me to stay on it too long, so we are trying the Buspar. She did give me a prescription for two refills for Xanax, along w/the Buspar presc. in case I'm not happy w/the Buspar, and wants to see me in 2-3 months to re-evaluate.
