The other name is Buspar. It is...a sedative like drug, a mild one, I believe. I was prescribed it for depression/not sleeping quite awhile back. It is not a big time powerhouse drug if that is what you were asking. It has been around a LONG time.
According to Wikipedia its a serotonin partial agonist, used for GAD. I was on this for a few weeks once, it sucked. No usefullness as an anxiolytic in my oppinion, and surely worthless for any recreational use
I don't think you're gona get much more worthwhile discussion since not enough people really have any anecdotal experiences to share. Google's probably your best bet, and for that reason I hearby declare this thread clooosed.
