Just a quick footnote to my message above--
When I say above that people should forego the $300 consultation with Dr. Jensen and simply try to find a more or less likeminded doctor, what I should have emphasized is "a GOOD likeminded doctor." In my view, this is everything -- there are many prescribing psychiatrists with a remarkable lack insight into what their patients go through with the medication game, or even into what medications are worth trying vs. not worth trying. The most important thing is to have a doctor who can serve as an intelligent, creative, insightful *partner* in the medication process, as opposed to one who just follows a bunch of abstract "rules" that could basically fit on an index card. Sadly, it's because so many pdocs still behave in this latter fashion that "DrJensen.com" suddenly comes along and looks so revolutionary!
Cheers,
JD
