Hi Tepi,
The programs I'm finding on line (I read thru a few) are for people who have no money. They almost certainly are not going to treat with the kind of medications you are looking for. But if you have some time, do a search for Mexican USA Programs or Psychiatric Programs and see if any thing looks good. Also do a search for Mexican Psychiatric Services Texas. See what comes up.Ask questions if you find anything, big one: Do you prescribe Maoi's, do you augment (add) wit other meds?
Tepi,Do you know anyone in Texas that could help you?
Can you legally go back and forth?
I'm going to just check for some reputable Psychiatrists in the 3 areas closest to you, I'll make some calls and get some costs for you, Okay?
Whats the most you can afford?
How long does it take you to get to the closest city?
Do you have a current Diagnosis?
Do you have your records? Meds list?
What city do you live in?
Is your English good enough to call and explain everything? And set up an appt.? Does someone in your family speak good English? Let me know
what you want to do. If not, we'll work it out.If I'm not mistaken, you are looking for a PDoc that will prescribe MAOI's, hopefully Parnate, and will augment (add) other meds to that depending on how you do. Right?

I don't know if its possible for you to legally go back and forth to Texas, is it? Do you just need a reason? Or can you just go. Can you get there? Car or bus?

>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.What are the 3 closest cities/towns for traveling costs and for you to get to? Would that still be Mcallen, Laredo, and San Antonio?

>
> 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?No, it looks like you are better off with a private psychiatrist. A good one.
30 minutes - $120 , lets say an hour $200 ?
> wow, it is expensive, considering I earn money in pesos (I'm going to check this out.)> I would spent like $400 dolars by travel
Why so much for travel? I flew to Mexico for that.
You are at least 18years old, right?

> But do you mean finding someone here ? Or you continue talking about a Pdoc there Jade ?
I mean finding someone in Texas for you, Tepi
>
> 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

> >How much Parnate are you Taking Jade ? Any sign of HP crysis with the ritalin ? Never with ritalin. In fact it helps keep my BP from being too low, but thats just me, Tepi.Now I take 80mg Parnate, and 40mg Ritalin.
I get low BP whenever I go up in dose but thats it. (No HP crisis) Then it passes.
In the very beginning I did but I think I took a med with it I shouldn't have. Its never happened since.

Yes , I will try to do this. It is difficult but
> I have no other choice rihgtNot that I see! You need to get well!!

Answer those questions and I'll start looking!~jade
