I hit the wrong key and I meant to send this response to Nanagizer. Anyway, Oops, sorry. I meant to say Buspar instead of Xanax. I do not know how much the dosage of her Buspar was. When she was in the treatment facility, they gave her Buspar, and she was able to use that in order to get off of Xanax. She felt that Buspar was a good medication, and she was able to go off of it when she was ready--at least, that is what she told me. I just wouldn't drink caffeine with it so that it does not interfere with the effects of Buspar. Unlike benzos, Buspar is an Anti-anxiolytic medication. It is used often to treat GAD and it takes a month for a person to feel the effectiveness. I sure do wish you great success with it! Let me know how it works out.
