They almost certainly are not going to treat with the kind of medications you are looking for.
>mmm why? because of money?

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?
>Are all these examples like programs between Mexico and Texas ?

>Only my exgirlfriend that live in Houston ,but I would not dare to look at her in this moment , she is with another man now .its starting a new relationship and we are avoiding each other in the last months..
> Can you legally go back and forth?
Yes , no problem with that, I have all the documents , and I used to go USA in the past very frecuently

> 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?
>Wow, would you really do that for me Jade ? I suppose you are talking about Laredo , Mcallen , mmm ST Antonio, Brownsville
> Whats the most you can afford?
>mmmm , maybe around 80 dls per session and that may be high yet . I will have to check how often I would be travelling.. but dont worry I will try to find a way to cover it if its not cheap Jade
> How long does it take you to get to the closest city?
>
3 hours> Do you have a current Diagnosis?
>Not official , no Doc has been able to give me one
The one that know me since everything started , like 14 years ago , says Schizhoafective disorder
-depressive type- . However he also mentioned that after 40 years of being a PDoc , he has never seen any other case or patient with
all these symptoms , and he is really old
That was tough =(> Do you have your records? Meds list?
>
I can write down a list of all the meds I have tried and the time I have used them> What city do you live in?
Monterrey , North of Mexico . and you?

>Well yes , I dont speak 100% english but I think that would not be a problem for me. Maybe I would not be able to explain it as well as in spanish but I believe I can do it
> 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?
> >Yes Jade , Parnate , Nardil , all MAOIS +
augments> 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 can go there I can tell Im going of shopping
but that would be only for the cities in the border,If I need to go deeper e.g. San Antonio I need an special permission that they give me in the intl brigde . I need to give them and addres where Im going to arrive. They never ask that to me dont know why , I guess it depends on the people who is giving these papers, some are very strict others not
I can go either on car or bus , that is something I will have to evaluate in the cost analysis> >
>
> 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?Mcallen , Laredo , Brownsville , I dont know other big city in the border. San Antonio is a little more far but only 2 hrs. I would make like
5 hrs in car , 8 in bus to ST Anotnio
> >> > 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.$400 , including PDoc , gasoline , highways , meals.. its an aprox (counting 200 dls in the PDoc )
>
> You are at least 18years old, right?Yes , Im 10 years older. Im 28 Jade
> > >
> > 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
