Yes this is very logical. It's just that I take a benzo (nitrazepam) that is so old and dated and which I believe is not even available in the US any longer. I kind of feel that there must be better replacements, especially as they have a high potential for dependancy after several months. Also they start to wear off and increased doses are needed to maintain any beneficial effect.Buspar has been recommended by an American friend as being very good for anxiety and I was wondering if that might be suitable. However, I really do value the traquillity I get from "following day" effects of the benzo and I do not know if I will get these effects from Buspar. Can anyone advise?

Yes I have heard this but only in passing. I would dearly love to know more.This seems so important to me in understanding why my MAOI works for me. Maybe the MAOI works for me not because it raises serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine but because it conatins amphetamine type substances.
This will be important as I know my moclobemide will poop out after a few months. Hmmm ... maybe all mild stimulants poop out after a few months.
