Tina,
I'm also one of the ones that hates Buspar. The fact that it made me very dizzy and lightheaded was one thing, but the real concern was how suicidally depressed I became on it. It was bad. Removal of the drug caused remarkable improvement. It was actually a relief to get back to my normal depressed self, if that makes any sense.My doctor told me he is continually amazed at how people react so differently to Buspar. To some people, he says, it's like water. With other people they are super sensitive to it in all kinds of weird ways. I think a personal trial is the only way to find out.
Speaking in general blanket terms, we just don't see Buspar being all that effective very often. And it is very expensive. It could indeed be a miracle for someone, but I don't think the odds of that happening are anything to get excited about.
