Hello Everyone,
I've been following your conversations for a while and it has been very helpful ,as well as, frightening (all the side effects).
I suffer from depression and haven't had much luck with Prozac or Effexor XR. My psychiatrist has put me on Celexa yesterday, but I'm not very encouraged from what I have read so
far.
I just read a book by Dr. Martin T. Jensen, "The Successful Treatment of Brain Chemical Imbalance." He devised a new method of testing what chemicals are out of balance in the
patient's brain and uses "Protocols" to find the right antidepressant. He uses 3-4 different AD's for 3-5 days each to see which one works best (he doesn't wait 6 weeks).
The approach seems to work. But when I confronted by doctor with it, he was not very open to the suggestions.Has anyone heard of this guy? or read his book? or tried his methods?
Please give me your thoughts on this.Thanks,
Ania
