> KatHey Kat, I just went to Mayo a month ago. I was actually kinda disappointed. The entire trip was just a 3 hour appointment. They did give me a pretty thorough list of treatment options but you've probably tried them all.
The recommendations were to try an SNRI, add an antipsychotic, try a selegine patch, or some sort of behavioral therapy. I think there were another 1-2 things, I forget. Normally they would do extensive blood work but I've already had that done so they didn't do that again.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
