I could see buspar making you sad. It is basically a low-dose neuroleptic; it blocks dopamine and serotonin receptors. Some docs use it to improve the performance of antidepressants, kind of like they use atypicals antipsychotics. High dose buspirone has been associated with tardive dyskinesia; at any dose you have to worry about brain damage of the type induced by neuroleptics. I'd just drop it...most shrinks don't even bother with it.
Good luck.
