Dr.,

Thanks for the advice. I would prefer to avoid regular use of the benzos until I have tried other options. I don't want to switch from Celexa because I have certainly benefited and all the side effects disappeated a while ago, I don't really want to risk losing the benefits, particularly during a switch. What about combining with Buspar? I don't mind adding a drug, actually it is preferable to switching the antidepressant entirely. Is there any evidence that adding Buspar might be beneficial?

Also, one reason I don't use the benzos much is my Klonopin makes me sleepy. Does that usually wear off with regular use?

Any other options in addition to using benzos?

Thanks as always

Buspar is a good agent with some disadvantages. You have to push the dose to 30 to 60 mg to get the best effect. It takes a while to work. The experience with it as an augmenter for depression is only so/so. On the other hand, it has relatively few side effects and can work.
