I am on a high daily dose of prozac and want to slowly try weaning myself off to see if I still need it – given all of the brain healthy habits I’m integrating into my life (which I fully expect to continue to improve).  I know I’ll need doctor support but want to introduce my doctor to this body of work.  Any suggestions on how to bring this site and its support to the attention of a psychiatrist in such a way as he will see it for the sound medical basis it has been built on.   Haha – how do I refer my doctor to Dr. Amen’s work?

Any tips on how to back off the prozac would be much appreciated.  I’m taking the Brain and Body supplements and SamE but can’t afford the Mental Focus tablets just now (maybe after eliminating the prozac costs?!)  Staying hydrated and eating better.  Primarily food focus has been on eliminating glutens and sugars – I’m eating a lot more vegetables and am progressing with eliminating processed foods.  My life seems chaotic enough and I don’t have free access to a kitchen (I rent a room) – so I work on what I can and am quite satisfied with my progress thus far.
