It has been 16 months since I went to the Amen Clinic in Newport Beach, California. I was suffering from treatment resistant depression and I had been on 15 different drug combinations.
I am feeling better! There have been other things involved in my healing besides medication, but I am taking: Neurontin - 300 mg - 4 times a day, Luvox - 50 mg in the morning - 75 mg in the afternoon, and Effexor XR - 131.25 mg in the morning. Yes, this means I need to half a 37.5 mg capsule, but this is the dosage I feel best on. Writing a blog about my healing process has been therapeutic for me. If you are interested in knowing more about the Amen Clinic, or the other things I have done to get well, you are welcome to read my blog. Go to http://escapefromdepression.blogspot.com. There is too much information to include here. My brain scans taken at the Amen Clinic are posted in Chapters 11 & 13 of the blog. I appreciate the support and encouragement I have received from people on PsychCentral. Thank you! Sincerely, Caramel

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
