A member asked:
Have there been studies comparing the effectiveness of buspar (buspirone) to ssri/snris for gad? if yes, results? overall, which has more side-effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mixed: One small clinical trial compared buspirone with sertraline (an SSRI) in elderly patients with GAD; both drugs demonstrated clinically significant anxiolytic effects; however, in another study, extended-release venlafaxine (an SNRI) demonstrated significantly superior efficacy on an anxiety subscale compared with buspirone for treatment of GAD
