buspar? Any positive responses with our children?

[momslove]

So DH said and I agreed that we should probably re-try the recommendations of the mental health provider because we have to change something. Provider said increase the Luvox and add Buspar. We had increased the Luvox and saw changes we didn't like so decreased it again. DD said things about not being able to find her words and being confused and not knowing what was going on... Could be that the changes were not from the Luvox... We never tried the Buspar.

 

I started re-reading information and remembered why I didn't want to do it (Buspar). Reading about possible permanent "side-effects" such as tardive dyskinesia... Also reading not indicated for OCD and major interaction with Luvox... Reading trial did not support augmentation of Luvox with Buspar...

 

I get the risk-benefit consideration, but...

 

Any POSITIVE experience with combined use of Luvox and Buspar?

We did not use luvox, but buspar alone (w/ lemon balm, 5-htp, l-taurine etc...). We did not see positive results or negative results, but we keep it at a fairly low dose.

My son was using bus bar for sleep. Definitely helped for that.

I don't know now what has improved from meds and what from IVIG.
