Hi Sabina,
Some people (like me) just can't tolerate SSRI antidepressants, even though they're in vogue for now. I haven't tried Buspar, but my impression is that only a small subset of people respond well to it. There are all sorts of other drugs out there, and you're bound to find one or a combo that works. Are you seeing a psychiatrist or GP/family doctor? Psychiatrists (good ones, at least), are more likely to work outside the box, which sounds like the approach you need. The real key is to find someone you can relate to, who's willing to try different things. This may be hard, but it's well worth the time and effort.
