> > Just wondering, who signs the prescription? As long as its signed you are not self prescribing. increasing the dose maybe but walking out on you like that is in my view malpractice. Do you pay for the service and meds? Oh, and is 450mg over the limit? Ur in the USA?

> Unfortunately i'm not from the UK, 450mg is not the maximum dosage, max is 600mg. I really do need to find more open-minded doc, it isn't easy where i live though, all the doc's i'v been to are very conservative, it's like i have to beg for any new med i like to try and after that they charge me top . It is really hard to find something to work if the procedure has been made so hard. It really was very rude from her to walk off like this, she doesn't know how i feel and what works for me, only i can tell how i feel.. the system really pisses me off sometimes

Dam! I see your predicament. Like I said before, you need a Neuro-psychopharmacologist. These specialist are meds meds MEDS!!! When I last saw my specialist, when I told him that i had increased my dose myself he said nothing. At the end of the appointment he congratulated me that I was doing so better! It was a high dose too. All he said was that it was so good to see me so un-depressed! with smiles all round. Would you be willing to travel for your appointment? OR, If you contacted Professor David Nutt At the Imperial college in London he may well know someone near where u live who you can call for intelligent help.

He's great. I use to be under his care until I was passed to my current doc. He's a total wizard in psycho-pharmacology. Only doc who okayed me adding 300mg bupropion to my MAOI then add Amitriptyline The link has his email address. He does move around alot though. So I cannot guarantee he himself can help. But he should be willing to share a few names he knows in USA. I hope something positive happens for u soon.
