> The positive response I had with low-dose Buspar (with a low-dose SSRI), was a big reduction in apprehensive rumination about the future (well that sounds like GAD). There is something about the circuit that is involved with the negative anticipation of "what's next" that gets broken somehow. I got a positive response like that from Serzone as well without the anger (but made me too sedated). The hostility on Buspar was downright scary though---so I don't think I will be retrying it... It was like all the anxious energy got converted into rage instead.

I can relate to some of that. In the past I always expected bad things to happen- I remember telling one friend that I lived my life as a "worst-case scenario." Lately I haven't been thinking that way- it makes life a lot more bearable.
