Congratulations, Paul. I do envy you (and everyone else similarly situated), but I guess it was your time. Hopefully my time is coming too. I'm curious as to how you found your new guy ... is he on your insurance list of providers? If so, you'll probably just get the 10-minute med follow-ups, I assume? Thanks.

> one of my biggest problems is sleep. it takes clonopin(which i despise taking because of the visual distortions the next morning), serzone which i'm quite happy with except for its dream-recall destruction, benadryl and/or hydroxyzine, both of which do practically nothing due to my quick tolerance development, and a couple different vitamins that seem to help. taking all this would gag a goat, so my doc suggester small dose (25mg) seroquel in addition to a lowered dosage of clonopin. he even TOLD me to do my 'net research where i learned of a potentially fatal side effect-raising of the body temp-caused by all three he wanted me to research-seroquel/zyprexa/risperdal. initially i said no to all 3 but after he allayed my fears about seroquel-it appears to be the safest in small doses, i've decided to try it. he's going to provide me w/samples awa refill my clonopin scrip as i'm out of town starting friday. all this was discussed as he drove home @ 9:00 pm tonight. i wish you all had a doc like him. i'm damn glad i finally found a good one. all this was in returning a phone call i left this afternoon. he gave me no bs about calling at all. that first obese ----- i saw could take a few lessons from this guy. noa-if you're reading this-write to me about recumbents anytime and i'll happily lead you through the maze.
> hope you all are well-it's off to coloraddy to find a home-again. wish me luck!!
