> How are you? I've spent the last few months trying some things. I've been bouncing around cyberspace doing research of course. Also spent plenty of time laying in bed and staring at the ceiling and banging my head against the wall.
That's one of my favorite pasttimes as well. :(

Since I am Italian and i'm also a neurosomatic mental case, I thought franco neuro would be a good fit. But i've done so much reading about the brain, the nervous system and neurotransmitters I feel like i've truly become...neuroman! Besides, my name is Paul. Maybe I should've been paolo neuro?

I don't feel much better yet but I've also gained more knowledge. I got that rEEG done. It said I was low dopamine (no sh*t!) but it also said that I don't need serotonin. I previously thought I needed both. The doctor also diagnosed me as having ADD which was a relief. I have suspected that for a while now. He prescribed beta blockers and Dexedrine for me. I've only taken the Dex a couple of times and it has made me calm and sedated - not the motivation I was looking for. I need to up the dosage now and experiment with it. How about you? Were you able to find a doctor who was willing to do the IV ketamine experiment?
