I had an interesting effect from buspar (buspirone), it seemed to instill a religious feeling in me. Looking around at the world when i went outside seemed different somehow. It gave me a very serene feeling. Normally I am not religious at all so this was quite a difference for me. If I felt that way all the time, i definitely might be more spiritual. The effect while nice, only lasted for a few weeks and I seemed to develop a tolerance. Has anybody else had a response like this to this drug or any others?
Apparently 5-ht1a binding correlates with religiosity.

Buspirone is an agonist at the 5-ht1a receptor so maybe this is the reason? I think LSD and mdma have 5-ht1a agonist activities too.
