hey! Personally, I love Buspar *BUT* fully 10% of people who take it will end up withdrawing due to side effects, so stuff like this happens. I completely understand your aversion to taking any dose of antipsychotics...in addition to TD, there are other problems to worry about. Topomax does help a lot of people, but its also been nicknamed "dopomax"--it apparently makes some people really stupid. I think that in a case like this a benzo might be the way to go...if you need the Wellbutrin, your doc should be willing to treat the side effects. I think as-needed Librium might be a better choice than Klonopin...there's a lower likelihood of inducing/worsening depression or flattening out your mood, and its easier to use on an "as-needed" basis, which is how lots of docs prefer to RX benzos (for some reason, fixed dosing--i.e., 2mgs/Klonopin a day-- makes some docs nervous, but they'll RX the same quanitity for "as-needed" use). Good luck!
