Buspar has proven to be widely effective in many patients. There are many recovery or alcoholic folks that cannot/will not take addictive drugs, and therefore are not able to take the benzo style drugs which tend to be highly addictive. Buspar has an extremely low addictive rate, and has been widely used around the US.
I used to work as a prison nurse and we dispensed it frequently, and found most had great results from it.
I hope it works as well for you too.
