I'm going in for my 17th treatment next week, and I'm not sure it's doing anything but making me worse any longer. I'm going to ask my doctors once again how much longer I should be trying it, but I'm afraid I'll be stopping soon. Problem is, I just don't know what I'll do next. I hate the meds so much I can't even put it into words.

> BobBob,
Have you considered the VNS implant? Some people have gotten really good results. And then there's the DBS (deep brain stimulation) treatment that's being tested now. Have you seen an endocrinologist?
I guess my point is, don't give up. There are new drugs every month it seems and new treatments.
Hang in there.
