sorry about this. i have to take a tranquilizer/"antipsychotic," and I'm sensitive to eps, td, etc. my solution has been alternative health+standard treatment. I load up on b-vitamins, niacinamide, antioxidants, etc. I tolerate the 20mgs/Abilify surprisingly well; 0 EPS, no stiff gait, no TD, no crushing dysphoria, etc.
have you run a drug-drug interactions checker on your combination? it might not -just- be the buspar's mechanism of action; it could be that there's some drug-drug combinations going on that are contributing to this.
sorry about this. have you tried anything else for anxiety, like lyrica, gabapentin, even hydroxyzine?
hope things get better for you. :-)

Checking on interactions is a good idea, although my research says buspar alone can do it. I'm in a side effect chain right now. Vraylar gives me anxiety. Buspar helps with the anxiety. Buspar gives me side effects. I can't take benzos because they interfere with my sobriety. Man, one of these days is just gonna run out of drugs for me!
You've reminded me that I have a stress relieving supplement that I haven't really tried out yet.
