> I think the reason people don't use this drug is because they expect it to work like the benzos. It works more like the SSRI's from what I've read. It could take months before you notice any benefit. People who have used benzos in the past want fast relief. I think you're going to have to be patient with this one.

I'm actually hoping it has an anti-depressant effect & thats exactly what I'm waiting for. I'm already on a benzo - clonazepam 2mg/day for SP. Was hoping the Buspar would somehow enhance that + lift my mood but I'm currently feeling depressed most of the time.
I see my General Practitioner today & will try to get her to write me a script for lofepramine 210mg/day to add to the other two. I've used it twice before & it worked both times. An excellent antidepressant but without any anxiolitic effects. Still, it motivates me & thats what I need right now. Takes around 3 weeks to kick in but at least I'd have faith that it will.
Sorry to anyone put off by my previous impatient post.
