BuSpar is weird. Its kind of like taking a really low dose antipsychotic. Carries a small risk of tardive dykinesia, I think.
Anyway, even when BuSpar itself doesn't work, it can sometimes boost an antidepressant. Before prescribing atypical antipsychotics became the thing to do, Buspar was commonly used for that. Maybe it still is, I dunno.
I took 60mgs (my doc was not so great, lol). It really didn't help, but then again I was on benzos beforehand. It did make my antidepressant work a bit better.
Good luck.
