Buspar???????

My doctor just started me on buspar 15mg a day for anxiety in addition to my antidepressant effexor. The effexor wasn't cutting it by itself. does anyone have any experience with Buspar? any feedback is welcome.

Buspar is a non addictive anxiety medicine.  I've never taken buspar but have taken effexor.  The effexor actually caused me to have anxiety.  Did you have anxiety before starting the effexor?
