Now that you've realized that drugs don't always work, rogdog, why not try something that's actually *good* for your body and brain? I don't know if you had said you've tried homeopathic treatments, but I would gander that you haven't. I suggest the following:
1) Get yourself checked out COMPLETELY, as in "a good physical" type thing, to eliminate any physiological ailment (neuralgia?)
2) Look into natural means to help yourself, for example, vitamins, minerals and herbs in lieu of drugs. Any of the Andrew Weil books are good. Also, the web is filled with excellent material about holistic medicine. Learn!
3) Examine your diet: avoid processed sugar, salt, coffee, cola.
4) Keep drinking at a moderate level (beer/wine, no hard stuff).According to the late Adele Davis, magnesium is good for nervous tics. Pump up your calcium, too.
Remember: before these VOODOO drugs, there were only nutrients and herbs to be had, and they did quite nicely.Don't expect an overnight sensation in results, though. The difference between nutrients and drugs is that drugs work faster but with a price (side effects).
I'm no health freak, but I did learn at an early age that diet is the key to a healthy life.
Now please pass the garlic ...
