John,
I've seen your posts going way back, that's how I found out about Dr Martin Jenson's technique.
You're so lucky to have found a psychiatrist who would do short trials, there is no way you would find someone in the UK who would do that, whenever I've mentioned it to them they just dismiss the idea. It seems to me that all have approach and follow the same guidelines. I'm sure I could do there job, they ask the same questions on the initial consultation and they all go down the same old path.
I know I shouldn't complain about them, after all they're not to blame if the drugs don't work but at £200 pounds a time you'd expect to see some results.when they're not helping me. The last psychiatrist I had a consultation asked me as part of the consultation, what my salary was as he said he need to know to gauge how stressful my job was but I felt slightly uneasy about it wondering if he was trying to work out how much to charge me (I had mentioned to him about not going throuh my insurance)
I've tried prozac, adding zyprexa as and when needed and I didn't feel any special synergie but what I have found is that if I take 10mg of Zyprexa without anything at all I feel much better the following day and then don't feel the need to take it for another two weeks.Maybe I should just stick to the Zyprexa and be grateful that there is something that helps but I can't help pining for the way I used to feel when the SSRIs, tryclics used to work, because I felt so much better then.
