AMenz,
YES, BUSPAR CAN CAUSE THAT. That is precisely what happened to me when I was taking 10mg/day! The interesting thing is that I lost all fear of neary everything (GAD-social anxiety). Instead of being afraid of people I was ready to kick their ass all the time! I had some really bad shouting matches at work and almost got fired!
I do know that it *reduces* serotonin and Zoloft which calms my temper increases serotonin. I dx'd it and within a couple of days the hostility stopped! I don't *think* it is the dopamine receptors it affects-because I can take a dopamine agonist and it just makes me sleepy. It has got to be the 5-HT1a agonist activity it has-that triggers the hostility.
