Thanks (((((sunsetsunrise))))))) Thanks for this! I take Zoloft, but it's not cutting it with my anxiety. I've tried all the other SSRIs and SNRIs, but I'm now thinking of trying them again. My pdoc seems to think that buspar is only effective for less than 25% of people with my type of Anxiety Disorder (though I haven't ruled out giving it a try). He did suggest the tricyclics also and he mentioned adding Seroquel, so at least there are other things to try.....Thank you!
