Hi all. In Pharm Tips a doc commented that buspirone augmentation of setraline is magical, though trials with other SSRIs was sometimes disappointing. There was a hint at some kind of "zingy synergy" with zoloft and buspar. Can anyone comment on this? Has anyone been on zoloft with buspar? I would think if one doc found this combination "magical", surely others would have heard about it or stumbled upon it themselves. Any comments on zoloft with buspar? Thanks, jamie.

yes! i experienced great improvement after adding Buspar to Zoloft. in fact, it pushed me into a few days of a hypomanic state w/ each dosage increase. unfortunately, after an initial high i achieved a comfortable euthymic plateau for only a few weeks before another dosage increase was necessary. we quickly reached the max dose that my doc was comfortable with. at present the Buspar has been cut back & Wellbutrin added, keeping the Zoloft. this combo has worked very well for me so far, still at a fairly low dose of Wellbutrin. however, everyone seems to respond differently to the different med combos. for me, zoloft + buspar was indeed magical but alas, only temporarily.
good luck.> Hi all. In Pharm Tips a doc commented that buspirone augmentation of setraline is magical, though trials with other SSRIs was sometimes disappointing.

Thanks, jamie.Greetings, I am new to this link and will try and post again. I am on Zoloft Buspar and wellbutrin that's dueing the day at night it's clonopin buspar wellbutrin premrin and natural progesterone.
I have had really interesting results from buspar. I ran out for a couple of weeks and became despondent. I could not figure out why. Then my meds came, started bck on Buspar and within a week or so was back to speed.
