Hi Racer,
A stimulant might run interference with the Buspar. Unfortunately I had to go on the Buspar to control brutal panic attacks, which in turn started after ECT treatment.BTW this doesn't mean I don't think ECT works. In my wanderings through various support groups and clinics in this area, I've seen a lot of people get helped by it - just not me, unfortunately.
