Hi palmdalegirl,

I am sorry you are feeling miserable! It is frustrating to have your meds decreased, increased, and completely changed without feeling any better.

My psychiatrist guessed which drugs would be best for about a year and a half. I was on 15 drug combinations during this time with lame results. This is when I decided to go to the Amen Clinic in Newport Beach, California. The Amen Clinic used SPECT brain scans to give my psychiatrist at the clinic more information in diagnosing and treating me.

The Amen Clinics have been using SPECT brain scans for about ten years. They have research on what the scans show and which medication are most likely to be effective. I don't know if this would be an option for you.

I went to the Amen Clinic in Newport Beach, California in March of 2010. I am not well yet, but I am making good progress.
