BuSpar made me very drowsy (almost passing out at times). It also did nothing at all for my GAD. I have read on other sites that it works well with an SSRI but doesn't work well by itself. I haven't tried it with an SSRI but I can attest that it does nothing by itself. The makers toute this drug as being non-drowsy, however, I have fallen asleep standing up while on this drug, and I'm a poor sleeper!

[edit] Buspar

I have moderate GAD. I started taking Buspar 2.5 years ago. I am amazed at how well this drug works. It makes me dizzy about 30 minutes after I take it. The feeling lasts only for about an hour. I get very sleepy from the drug. I take my first dose early in the morning and fall back to sleep. I take my second dose before I fall asleep in the night. Thank the good Lord that this drug works!

buspar didnt make me sleepy and really hasn't done anything with by general anxiety disorder. i also take zoloft but nothing seems to help. Can someone relate.

I just started taking Buspar today. I also take Cymbalta and Clonazepam, both at max dosage levels and still have anxiety problems. The psychiatrist told me that the Buspar can help to increase the effectiveness of the other anxiety and depression meds I am on as well as provide some extra kick. Remember everyone, I have been through the worst and back with this disease, it is a constant excercise in trial and error to find the right mix of medications that work for you. Keep trying, and keep talking to your doctor. Constantly reporting changes in your symptoms really helps the doctor and increases your chances of finding the right combination of drugs for your condition.
