> I looking to try Buspar in the future, but I am currently feeling fine with 30mg Celexa and Klonopin .5 x 3 daily (all meds for PD). I used to take Xanax for about a year but it got tiring. I think I was starting to feel better and wanted something longer acting. If you have not tried Klonopin you should. Longer acting benzos made a world of difference in my case and did not space me out like Xanax.

If so, should I decrease the amount of Buspar I am taking when I start Celexa and hopefully stop taking it eventually? Thanks.Hi. Thanks for the info on Klonopin. I have not tried that one. I was looking for something mild that would help with anxiety and panic. I find that Buspar just helps the anxiety but it does not make me feel spacey or anything. Paxil and Zoloft did though! I only took those for a couple of days because I could not function on them.
Thanks!
