> I was told by a pdoc if you had taken a benzo buspar wouldn't work. Was that before they upped the starting dose? I think that was when 5-l0mg was the starting and permanent dose. Love Phillipa
Phillipa,
I really don't know much about this, but my impression is that Buspar doesn't work *generally*, prior benzo use or not.
I don't think there's any specific mechanism by where benzos would make buspar ineffective, it's just that by comparison to benzos it is so weak.
Please pardon the crude comparison, but it would be like giving caffeine to a former cocaine user. They're both stimulants but miles apart in effectiveness.
Fondly, Saturn
(I promise not to steal that closing again ;)
