That's the bad news, of course. The better news is that many psychopharmacologists will work with you to import a personal supply of the stuff from France. Your insurance won't pay for it -- unless you have a remarkably good policy -- but it is possible to try it to see if it will work for you. If it does work, some pdocs can perform miracles with insurance, but it's not something I'd count on.
Hope that helps, and good luck.
