I am not an expert, but buspar is kind of an old anti-anxiety...I really think that there is newer and better stuff out there. I have heard really good things about ativan...but these are sort of addictive. I have tried wellbutrin, lexapro, and paxil and found that the paxil helped me so much...the important thing to remember is that everyone responds to these medications differently and it may take some time to find the best one for you, but make sure that you give it a good chance, at least 3-4 weeks or more to decide if it is working and NEVER mess with your dosage or stop taking it without talking to your doctor...Man, I sound like one of those anti-depressant commercials!!
