>ehh, has the good doc tried xanax in higher dose range? Seems to me, since IT REALLY WORKS, it might be a viable option...at least in most cases. Of course if he wants to listen to the drug reps, he can continue using an elephant gun to shoot mice, i.e. using anti-psychotics like solian instead. maybe a good stiff dose of ole Thorazine might be the next strategy. Please remember it's your pain that you are unsuccessfully shelling out big bucks for useless treatment. Nuff daid.
