> The QEEG came back showing that i have extremely low brain voltage. He told me my problem was dopamine. Rather the fact that i have so little of it left in my brain. This would explain why i feel like a walking coma. It would also explain why Paxil, Neurontin, BuSpar(candy), Trazadone, Xanax, etc. never seemed to be getting at the root of my problem. It would also explain why the tyrosine i started taking last summer has helped me a lot with my chronic pain. So there it is. Bring on the Wellbutrin! Hopefully in 6 months or a year my brain will be floating in dopamine. Man i hope this turns out to be what i've been praying for all these years. This feeling like crap stuff is getting real old...as am i...
Yes, I was told that the EEG's were part of a "brain mapping" thing as well. However, no "tailored" changes to any of my meds was proposed as a result of the "results". Maybe I'm a dyed-in-the-wool cynic, but it just all seemed a little "quacky" to me :) It was several years back. I'd be interested in whatever "debate" there is amongst neurology folks about all of this. I hope you do well with wherever it takes you. Just doesn't seem to be much info about this...
