I was wondering if taking a low dose of buspar (no more then 15mg), along with a benzo would synergize together and make the anxiety properties more pronounced.
 
No, probably not.

First of all, Buspirone has no real recreational value. I'm assuming that you are prescribed this medication as it's not really a substance that one would buy off the street (unless one were to be scammed by misrepresented "Xanax Bars" that are actually Buspirone). If you are getting anxiety relief from taking it on a day to day basis, more power to you, but there won't be any synergy between Buspirone and Benzodiazepines. You will just feel each substance's effects in their own right.

Its more of a situation where I recreationally take benzos and when im running down to my last bit, say a half mg or mg of klonopin and i want to get the most out of it would buspar aid in that. Im not prescribed either but my gf is so I can get the buspar from her. I take I very rarely as to not get a high blood level of it and get discontinuation syndrome.
 
I took buspar (20mg) twice daily with 3mg of klonopin for over 2 years. I felt no synergy between the two drugs whatsoever. When I stopped the buspar, I had no reduction in the anxiolytic effects of the klonopin and couldn't tell any difference in my anxiety.
