Buspar as antidepressant.

Posted by Ted Brosnan on October 8, 2004, at 11:50:02

Hello.

I suffer from a rather mild depression. It's some lack of energy, motivation etc.. I already started taking Reboxetine (a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor), and it's promising.

I been on Lexapro for a while but I think my mild depression doesn't justify the awful side effects of a SSRI.

Instead of targeting Serotonin with a SSRI I started taking Buspar (buspirone) which acts as an agonist at the serotonins 5HTA1 receptor. I read that some studies have found it effective as an antidepressant at doses ranging fom 45 to 60 or 90 mg a day.

I am planning to start taking it at 45mgs a day.

Has anyone found it effective as an antidepressaqnt at these doses?!

Thanks
