I have tried Buspar alone for GAD and thought it was a very mediocre drug with unpleasant side-effects. But I was convinced by my pdoc to take it again once I was on Zoloft and I have been very pleased. I find that it squeezes out the good aspects of ssris (energy, devil-may-care-attitude, confidence in social situations) without the agitation and anxiousness that comes from ssris alone. I had really reached a ceiling in terms of how much Zoloft my body could tolerate before I started to feel I was on speed. So I took Buspar to avoid the drama of having to switch ssris and to quiet the GAD symptoms, with great results. My pdoc warned me that it would be hit-or-miss with this combo: he said it would either be as great as the "second coming" or as bad as an "unholy alliance." So far it has been the former!
