> JohnHmm..interested...but if this turns out to be another 'Neurontin'..well..ughh. (Anti-Neurontin rant..:-)..That med acts *nothing* like benzos, from my experience, and I really see little evidence for it in treating anxiety, GAD, PAD, etc. As for it as an 'anti-depressant'...bahhh..what a stretch!
I do have one interesting experience with Buspar. I was thinking of maybe taking it again. I took a good dose of Buspar (I think I took 15-20 mg's 2x a day), and a good benzo dose, and man I got a very excellent response. Maybe it's all the mucking around with a mix of dopamine, serotonin agonism/antagonism and the benzos.
If this works...I will post indeed!
Thanks...
