I e-mailed Dr. Breggin at breggin@tmn.com and must have sounded pretty pathetic because I got an answer within a few days with 2 recommendations of doctors in my area. You may want to visit his site at www.breggin.com for more information; I believe he provides an address to write to for psychiatrists or psychologists in your area. I don't know how far you are from Bethesda, Maryland, but Dr. Breggin has a practice and runs an Institute there. How many meds are you currently on? I am tapering down from 5, it has been extremely difficult but I am fortunate in the support I have. If you post what meds you are on and I've been on them, I can tell you of my experiences. I wish you the best of luck- also you said you were depressed, if you have a history of suicide attempts or hospitalizations, I strongly suggest you say nothing of your decision to your treating psychiatrist; they have the ability to court appoint someone to force you to take meds (without you even being there). Take care.
