Do you think Buspar might help? It is sometimes chosen to augment SSRIs. I have never heard of anyone using it preemptively to prevent poop-out, but it might be worth thinking about. It might possibly help modulate serotonergic tone through partial 5-HT1a receptor agonism. It is too bad that gepirone was not approved by the FDA (although the application was to be resubmitted). It provides the same 5-HT action, but without the D2 antagonism that comes with Buspar.
