My pdoc and I decided to get me off one or both of the anti-anxiety meds I'm on, and he said let's start with Buspar since that would be easier. Well, after a few days without it I began to become a wreck. Back on Buspar, feeling better again.
Am taking 1mg Klonopin twice a day (long story of why I went from 1mg/day to 2mg/day) and I could swear it no longer does squat because those days without Buspar were he!! with the anxiety.
Therefore, I'm going to ask my pdoc if we can wean me off the Klonopin or at least get me down to what he calls "the lowest effective dose" of the stuff. I had been weaned off it once, only to have an @$$ of a new pdoc put me back on it, so I know I can taper off without major problems.
I just thought I'd put it out there that Buspar, which even I thought was just a placebo, does work, at least for some people, like me!
