(BTW, that last post was also directed to you, Linkadge.)
I was looking through the archives a bit and notice that you got akathisia on Zoloft. Has this been a common problem for you on SSRIs? (Or did it not happen on others?)
Anyway, I had a thought and a concern. The thought: This might just be me projecting one of my own self-diagnoses, but I'm wondering if you might have chronic akathisia from your experience on Zoloft. That would resemble a constant panicky/anxiety feeling. I'm not sure what a good treatment strategy would be. (Memantine?)
Regardless of that, given your history of akathisia, I would be a little wary of Buspar. That has some affinity for the dopamine d-2 receptor, which might be predictive of akathisia. And, in my personal experience, I got that something horrible the whole time I was on Buspar.
Just a couple of cents (for whatever they're worth),
