I'm still experimenting with buspar. I notice that it's great for anxiety and less fatiguing than benzos, but I feel like I have a little trouble concentrating on it.
Is there any dose-dependent effect re: Buspar and concentration? It might improve dopamine (hence conenctration) because of its slight dopamine effect.
I'm playing around with dosing. I could go up to 15 mgs twice daily, right now taking half of that.

I once took 5mg with benzos and noticed nothing. What happens differently with higher doses? Now benzos tire me and in past gave me energy as anxiety was relieved? So you like the buspar?

I do like the buspar, it does not seem to work for a lot of people but it seems to work for my specific kind of anxiety. I have lots of worry and rumination.
Benzos kind of quiet the whole mind for me, leaving more problems with recall and thinking. Meanwhile, for me, buspar seems to quiet just the worry part and leave more of my mental capacity behind. The very first time I took it, I was taking Klonopin regularly felt nothing. I gave it another try several months later, and feel it more now.
