for me buspirone after liver enzyme knockout by nefazodone. want to find a safe way to replicate this. hence my focus on serotonin.

i see this as a PFC/mesocortical-pathway issue in my case, the nature of my problems and my long lasting tardive movement issues seem to point here (i can go into detail, but i'll be brief, they were SSRI induced, theorised to be related to choking VTA dopaminergic projections through te mesocortical pathway to the PFC).

5-HT2c has been mentioned as being of possibly special relevance when it comes to akathisia, including aripiprazole akathisia (5-HT2c partial agonism). i'm under the impression mCPP can be especially unfun and reported to cause akathitic dysphoria in a significant number of people.

i definitely need this. no response yet. my buspirone response gave me a feeling of how livable, calm, and under my control things could be.

day 8, still no such response. i think i may have responded when i took a double dose one night.

this makes me worry a lot. especially since this effect seems to be invoking movement related terminology (RLS), and i found it very confusing. my impression was that 5-ht2c antagonism would be anxiolytic, and very pro-healthy-movement-states. i though 5-ht2c inverse agonism was being eyed for antiparkinsonian potential...

i want tandospirone.
