I was more worried about neuroleptics in that time

Yes , I would be traveling to Texas if this is possible . The closest city is Mcallen , Laredo and all the zone in the border. San Antonio is also not than far, I used to go there to visit my exgirlfriend , but I suppose is more expensinve
alsho the traveling costs.
Do you think I could qualify for any progam over there even if Im not an American citizen ? Im getting my italian citizen too ( its going very slow though) , would that help some way?> 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

wow, it is expensive, considering I earn money in pesos
I would spent like $400 dolars by travel

I have seen a couple of the most recognized PDoc here , they just simply dont use MAOIS , its scaring for them , . Some let me keep on it , but does not make any change or add anything, they just said , go on in this way and things will improve. I couldn`t afford paying them

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.

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.

from Tepi.> Keep us posted!
