I went over to California to see Dr Martin T Jensen in november 2000. I had a £400 voucher which covered the flight and accomodation and Dr Jensen charged $300 for what turned out to be a 2 hour consultation.
Either he got lucky or is a very clever man as within 30 minutes he said that I was "a xanax person" but suggested other trials first.
Eventually I tried xanax ,some of which he gave me and which I now get on private prescription over here and it has been a miracle drug for me.
So much so that I now take half the dose I used to using the anti inflammatory model and so far I have had 3 months worth only in 4 years!
Diagnosis ? some very unusual form of gad and adult onset add- but who cares.
I might have gone to see Dr Amen at his clinic had I known about him then as Jensens system does not work for everyone and you do need an English doc who is willing to be open minded enough to accept that a guy who teaches at Harvard might just have something about him.

The trip was scary as my "state " was terrible at the time but if I hadn't gone I would still be curled up in a ball terrified of the phone ringing ( and everything else!)
I also meditate daily, exercise daily and do tai chi all of which help , but not as much as the xanax when it is needed.

I hope that answers all the questions, suffice it to say my faith in British shrinks aint good. I know them from both ends as I now have to work with them occasionally and if I want to keep my job I better shut up!!

Keep Well

Glenn
