hi michael, buspar might work, it is the mildest of the options listed (no AP efficacy, but that's not always a bad thing). The drug has a wildly variable metabolism from person to person, but if I remember correctly you were taking it at one time? Maybe you could get scripts for Buspar and one of the others, and if the Buspar does nothing then you could try the stronger stuff. Pdocs generally see Buspar as 'harmless' and I doubt they would be averse to having you have some on hand.
By the way I am no advocate of buspar, in fact I have always viewed it as the most 'expendable' element of my combinations (currently: 100 mg nortriptyline, 150 mg Provigil, 1 mg clonazepam, 10 mg Ritalin (now THAT is doing nothing) and the 30 mg of buspirone that I've kept after noticing that dumping it, as I have done from time to time, only made me feel worse).
