> Anyone had any good/bad experiences taking buspar alone? I've been put on it for anxiety... used to be on wellbutrin for over a year, started to get really anxious, then celexa then back to wellbutrin then lexapro and now just buspar... I was diagnosed by my primary as depressed because I was complaining of being so tired all the time, but no medial problems were found. Went off after 3 years since I don't think I'm really depressed, but I have do experience stomach anxiety -- was put on belladona (sp?) but it contains phenobarbital for my stomach, it didn't help and I didn't like taking it..

>It could be depression, Buspar is only a very mild drug compared to Lexapro & Celexa.
You say 'Stomach anxiety' & mention belladonna, can I assume that when you are anxious you get diarrhoea? Low dose amitriptyline taken at night would possibly be the best medicine for this.
Cheers,
