and it would be at the top of my list for a second try if what I'm doing now doesn't pan out. I've
learned since then to go slow and low. It may have been a miraculous combo, but I was too aggressive
too fast.
-----Well, I'd like to be optimisitic since I'm trying
it (not without my mainstay Klonopin,
though!!)...but if the startling nyu findings four years ago were valid, don't you think this combo
would have been widely reported (and presumably
used) elsewhere by now? Heck, with 50% of pdocs
calling Buspar an "expensive placebo", you'd think Bristol-Meyers-Squibb would be all over this one
by now!!Well, I've scoured every byte of the net, and have found NO reference to this combo's quick and
potent AD effects except for the nyu site (BTW,
your url was a bit off), their Medline abstract,
and our correspondence here. In fact I only found one other reference to simutaneous use of Buspar
and Pindolol in ANY context, and that was simply
to give a little extra "oomph" to restoring
pooped-out SSRI's (instead of using just one or
the other as a potentiator). And there was
certainly nothing glowing in THAT report.So wish I could say otherwise, but I'm not
brimming with optimism. Sigh...Rick
