In reply to TIANEPTINE Buspar - any sense in this?, posted by Maria3667 on December 12, 2006, at 17:45:16
Hi Maria
I use Buspar 22.5mg twice a day as an AD augment to my wellbutrin. It's never done anything for my anxiety but then again, besides some headaches, I didn't seem to have any side effects from it either... and believe me, if I'd known it could have caused weight gain, I'd never had touched it
goes to show you just how differently we all respond to the same meds
I've titrated off Buspar 3 x in the past 5 years because I wasn't sure it was doing anything and every time I felt a distinct increase in my depression
from reading the other posts, can't see that it would be a problem with tianeptine. What dose are you on?
I've considered trying it myself but dislike that I'd have to order it from overseas and not be able to use my insurance as I need all the financial help I can get.
Sure wish the US would get with the program with some of these drugs... sigh
good luck! If you decide to try it, please keep us posted
namaste,
lilith
