Just a thought....

GOOD LUCK!
I am from New Mexico and live here now. I lived in Utah for 4 years to undergo treatment I couldn't get here. I moved back in 2002. They had me on Wellbutrin, Risperdal, Depakote and Restoril. I was practically a zombie. I took myself off those drugs and switched to Paxil. Still a zombie and some serious side effects. My doctor had me try different dosages and I still had problems with side effects. My doctor here in New Mexico will not give me a signature. He's Mormon. I have to try another doctor but I have to get my records from Utah. I'm going around in circles here.

While I lived in Utah there was a coworker of mine that had PTSD as well. She had me try some marijuana. I slept like a baby and woke up refreshed. Not groggy or befuddled like you get with pharmaceuticals. I was amazed. She ended up getting busted and lost her job. I felt so sorry for her. It was a treatment that was working and she was punished for it. That's not something I want to risk.

Thanks for the support folks. I don't know if it's worth the anxiety and frustration to keep trying to get a MM card.
