> I don't really know. I would be very cautious, although my guess is that it is theoretically possible.
Yes it is. Both beside knowing that 'Something' had already happen to someone.. we don't know much. So it's kind of hard to decide if I'm willing to take the risk if I can't know if it's a small, big or suicidal kind of risk.
> Is there a reason for not utilizing one of the other agents you posted about first? (bupropion, cyproheptadine)
Well.. Buproprion isn't a thing I could take. As a person with anxiety disorders raising my dopamine will without a doubt increase my anxiety level. In fact I already tried Bupropion 2 times in the last 5 years and after 2 months started to be VERY anxious. Besides Bupropion is on the same 'dangerous interaction' list that Buspar is.
Now for cyproheptadine it's something I'm currently looking at. But I have 2 concerns; weight gain (cyproheptadine is something prescribe to people who need to gain weight) and the fact that it is a Serotonine antagonist.. meaning that is can play against my AD. But before I definitively put cyproheptadine aside I will first try to find a weight antidote and make some googling to further understand how cyproheptadine works; it may well be selective enough to only play on those 5-HT receptors (5-HT2a/c and 5-HT3) that is good to antagonisze without antagonizing the good one.
You've make me realize that even if I would know precisely what are the risks with Buspar, I would not be ready to take a decision. I should investigate further those others agent that could do the job without any risks firts..
So thank you for your comments :)
Hope your well --
