As a partial agonist of 5HT1A, it acts in the same way a buspar.i would think. I wish they would come out with some triple NT releasers or something along those lines, that aren't in the amp category.
Do you think those would be good for anxiety or a med that's a 5HT reuptake inhibitor that also works as a DA releaser without any NE action.
