Anyone tried to augment their SSRI with Buspiron? or Inositol?

[Guest guest]

I am meeting with my sons' psychiatrist on Thursday to discuss next

moves with his medications. So far, he appears to be med resistant

and has tried 3 different SSRI's, over a 2 year period, with no

notable difference. He is currently on Celexa (and yes, appears to

have gained weight... probably about 10 lbs.) and she wants to

introduce the tranquilizer Buspiron to augment the Celexa. She says

it is a non-addicting, low side effect tranquilizer.

The idea of giving him this has been hard for me to take. I have just

read in an old post that there is an OTC B Vitamin called Inositol

that has been used in augmentation as well, but the post was written 3

years ago, and I would like to find someone who has gone this route

more recently.

I am currently reading Dr. March's book on pediatric OCD. It was

written in 2007, and appears to be very current. If I am reading it

correctly, he thinks that there should be no other med category for

OCD treatment other than an SSRI. I have read in other places that

Buspiron should only be used for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

treatment and not OCD. I am completely overwhelmed with making these

decisions and thought I would reach out to the group for help.

Thanks in advance.
