In the end you have to go along with someone, and just hope he is a good choice. I do have one vital point agreed with my neuro however and I believe anyone who wants to do his best should discuss this; it is that my neuro specifies the particular drug which he wants me to use, and I determine the dosage. (how much and when). I didn't get to that happy position overnight however, and I recommend that you work on this Regards, -- Brian Collins <bjc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
