I'm glad to hear so many of you are so luck to have found a competent doctor. After moving here almost a year ago I discovered that all the competent and cutting edge doc's are in the Houston Medical Center (which is comprised of about 6 major hospitals and Universities). However, with panic/disorder/agoraphobia (thus the need for the Parnate - only MAOI's have ever helped)driving from the suburbs to the inner city (about 2 hours with traffic)is like asking me to skydive. My current doc (closer) who reluctantly agreed to begin to prescribe again the Parnate refuses to also prescribe Procardia for a hypertensive crisis, since cardiac drugs are out of her area of expertise (this is a common anecdote for patients to carry and is prescribed with the MAOI). Soooooo, does anyone out there know how I can find a competent psychiatrist who's not afraid of MAOI's in the WEST Houston,TX area????
