Tepi,

I don't know how things are done there, it may be different, but in the states under no circumstances would a pDoc "hit you". Under any conditions unless they wanted to lose their Licence to be a PDoc.

A Pdoc in the states (USA), can cost varying amounts. Are you a Mexican citizen, but can travel back and forth to Texas? I was trying to think if there are any programs here that you'd qualify for.

My last PDOc who was not good for me charged $90 for 15 minutes. My new one who is excellent is $120 per 30 minutes. You can probably find one for less, or more, depending where you are. In
addition if you are only coming over once a month, maybe you could see him for a longer time.

One other option, the one I vote for, forget about money for a minute and find the one you want. One who has lots of experience with Nardil and augments (and other MAOI's). Schedule an appointnment, sometimes you have

to pay a consultation fee first, if you can't just explain that you still want to come in once. Tell the PDoc you are desperate for help. He will
hopefully see that you are young and need it, or, he can refer you to someone who can. Tell him what you can afford.

I wouldn't waste time with any PDoc who won't augment an MAOI, or worse, will but doesn't know what he's doing. Especially Nardil since that seems the one that benefits you the most.

I take Parnate, and Ritalin. But I have a VERY careful PDoc, and I have taken Ritalin before for ADD for many years in small dose. I was on Parnate almost 3 months before I felt any benefit. My first PDoc left me on very low dose for a long time before I reminded him it was time to go up. I think that was wasted time.

Any way, I went thru some very unpleasant side effects during that time, Tepi, I'm surprized I made it. It was Scott who said you have to be a
"Patient patient", and its so true. It releaved me of all the stress of trying to figure every thing out all the time. You have to find the right PDoc, stay with him, agree to a med plan and then be patient, even thru hard times. And there may be some. Stick with it. One thing I did was make that change in PDocs.

You don't post too much Tepi, those are the people whu need to post! The ones struggling. I did. And I made it thru with a lot of help from people here.

Keep us posted!
