*At high doses, it is just as effective an antidepressant as the SSRIs (60mg).
*It has no anticholinergic side-effects
*It has no sexual or weight-gain side-effects.
*Its the least drowsy medication I ever tried.
*It has few significant negative interactions with any other medications save MAOIs.
*Its less expensive than Prozac retail in my state.
*No blood tests are needed while on BuSpar.
*It is never addicting like the benzodiazepines.
*It has the respect of Dr. Bob's Psychopharmacology correspondents.I took it for a month. It didn't work for my depression, but it was 1000% more tolerable than the TCAs and MAOIs I took.
