Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Yes Buspar is a good drug for anxiety disorder. You may take it along with clonazepam 1mg. Clonazepam has a very long half life and it should not cause withdrawal. You may continue taking 1mg of it. Also try starting cognitive behavioural therapy with your medications.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
