> TCA's by themselves help with anxiety but in a subtle, moderating way. I was recently asked by a psychiatrist whether my anxiety was worse than my depression and I said yes. I currently take 30 mg buspirone in addition to nortriptyline. The buspirone has worked very well for me and the buspirone/TCA combination is definitely safe; I can't say that it would help you, though, because I would just be generalizing from my own experience. It sounds like the TCA is helping you, so maybe you should augment it with an antianxiety med instead of dropping the TCA.

> I forgot to ask!, Is Buspirone an SSRI? what type of med is it? Is it specifically for anxiety? thanx!
