Yes, I decided the four benzodiazepine route was a bit extreme, so now I'm keeping my BuSpar and just added on Luvox today. But I'd like to think ahead... if the Luvox only works partially (as all SSRIs do for me), would it be a good idea to use a dopaminergic to augment it (in light of the information I read on this forum about dopamine possibly being involved in SP)? I've been thinking low-dose Wellbutrin (though it also has that NE action...) or Cylert for the moment. I doubt my pdoc will prescribe a schedule II dopaminergic, though I may as well try. A low dose (2.5mg) of Desoxyn always seemed to have a somewhat positive effect on me.
I'm also considering Abilify, as it is a 5HT1a agonist, and partial agonist at 5HT2a and D2... that (to me) sounds great for SP. Anyway, what do you all think?
