Re: Buspirone / Buspar anyone tried
Its not a particularly commonly used medication in the UK owing to its cost. I've not taken it myself but from what I've read it appears to have relatively few side effects. The only problem is, a lot of people also thought that it did absolutely nothing for them. There are a few threads on here concerning buspirone - it seems that it works best when prescribed as an adjunct to an SSRI.
As for alternatives - have you considered inositol? It appears to have efficacy in disorders such as panic, OCD and depression. There is a thread in the natural remedies section on this. It seems to be remarkably free of side effects as well, aside from some loose bowels and gas when you first start taking it.
I'd also look at magnesium supplements too. I'm guessing you've had recent blood tests for thyroid function etc?
