> I have been on 30 mg of Buspar (15 in am/15 in pm) for about a year and have also been on Celexa for quite some time now -- NO Problems! (knock on wood) No stomach stuff, no nothing.

> In fact, I'm also on Klonopin for anxiety and told my pdoc that I wanted to try to stop the Buspar because I've heard a lot of how it's weak, like a placebo, etc. Well, after 3 days off it, I was begging to go back on it! I guess I need both the Buspar and Klonopin to manage my anxiety.

> So, that was a long answer to a short question - the short answer is that Yes, I have been successful with the combo of Buspar and Celexa!I have never tried Buspar (buspirone), but from what I have gathered from reading posts here, it is a drug which takes several weeks to work. Maybe one of the reasons it is not considered very effective is that doctors and patients expect it to work as quickly as a benzodiazepine.
