> I did check it out, and "qualified." They ask you about any health conditions, and what meds you have tried, and if you have a thyroid disorder. The only thing is, it may require up to 21 visits over the course of 6 weeks, so it's a little less than once a week. (at worst) But the nearest center to where I live is about an hour and a half, so I'll need to give it a little time before I agree to the program. Sounds interesting though, and hopeful. If things continue to go unimproved, I'm going to give it a shot.It sounds very positive, doesn't it? I hope your current meds help. If not, then perhaps this programme will. Good luck.
Over the course of 8 years or so I've tried all sorts or meds (Prozac, Aropax, Nortriptilene, Moclobemide, Serzone, Doxepin, Serzone (again), Olanzapine, Aropax (again), Risperadol and Seroquel, plus others I can't even name; but to no avail. Recently I had a possible lifeline suggested to me, and am currently waiting to hear if I have been accepted for a treatment programme at a private clinic. It really is my last hope; the doctors I have seen this year won't even bother trying to prescribe anything any more, they say it is a waste of time. I hope the funding for this clinic comes through. I can't carry on like this any longer.
