In reply to Buspar and Klonopin for depression w/ anxiety?, posted by spower_ette on March 1, 2004, at 13:27:06
If I were you, I would give it a try and see if it works for you. I have found that Buspar acts as a very mild antidepressant and did nothing for anxiety. So, if your depression is not severe, it may be worth it to give it a try. Also, buspar increases sexual enjoyment and doesn't cause withdrawal or weight gain. You may find you feel dizzy about 20 mins after taking it. That is normal. You may also get the munches right after it kicks in, but that will pass too. The nice thing about Buspar is there is no withdrawal if it doesn't work for you. But, even if it doesn't take care of the depression, you can add an ssri to it. The two usually work really well together.
Klonopin works wonders for anxiety. So, give it a try. If it doesn't work for, you can just an antidepressant to the mix. Good luck to you.
