I was on Buspar (titrated up to 60 mg/day which was too much, backed down to 45mg/day, then 30mg/day, then 15mg/night) and had heard that it is very weak, like a placebo, etc. Since I'm on quite a few meds and feel like someone here aptly described "a walking drug store" my pdoc tapered me off the Buspar.
Well, I don't think it's all that weak or a placebo. Since being off it, my anxiety has risen and I don't fall asleep as easily at night.
I'm also on Klonopin BUT I've been on that for like 10 years and I think I've habituated to it.
I want to go back on the 15mg/night of Buspar and then work with my pdoc on tweaking (reducing, possibly getting rid of) the Klonopin.
Any feedback, comments greatly appreciated.
