Self-esteem up, more social, less anxious, not depressed, etc. Then, out of nowhere, my mood starts to just drop, I feel like I want to cry, and I don't understand it. There are no external changes that I can attribute this to.

> Hi,I also take Lamictal. Great drug for my mild bipolar. I also take effexor, but have been thinking about cutting back and possibly adding buspar due to sexual side effects. I've tried wellbutrin and didn't help. Effexor has worked very well for me. What has your experience been with buspar. Thanks...
