I actually thought about going to the Amen Clinic. I called to make an appointment, but chickened out when they called back, and didn't answer the phone. I guess you pay a lot of money, give an interview, and fill out a questionnaire. Then *they* decide whether you'll get the SPECT scan or not. There's a chance that they'll just prescribe based on you're interview and send you on your way. My initial impression was that the point of the clinic was to scan you *before* meds to diagnose, try you on a medication regimen, then scan you *again* post med to see if your scan has shifter toward normalcy. It upset me to find out that I might not even get a scan.
