To Marcatj

For the sleep problems .Thank you Marcatj I would appreciate that . As I said before one of my best friends is an MD and he said with only taking 2 to 3 10/500 5 times a week he doubts that I was having W/D s that long and is convinced that it put me into a major anxiety episode. I have had just two others in 10 years. Thank you again for your help   Jim

wow!  how weird is that????  you know, my ex is a shrink, and that's how i found him.  i can't say his demeaner is someone i would go to for "talk therapy" (not a bad guy whatsoever... just not sure he's someone i would have told my prob's to on a regular basis... everybody has a different confort level) but i'll tell ya what - he saved a@@ during a tough time...

godd lucky, buddy...

Oh My God I know him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I work at UCLA  Small world ..lol...Thanks

[marcatj]

in case we miss each other, here's the sleep dr.  David Brandes, MD in Northridge.  I'm not sure if we are allowed to put ph #'s on here.. if not, i'm sure we can figure out some way to email.. really nice and good and thorogh man/doctor.

for the anxiety psychitrist/specialist, his name is Alexander Bystritsky and he works out of UCLA - has a practice at the college and private one accross the street (which I went to.)  i went to him, like i said, when i started having anxiety attacks.  and i couldn't sleep well during this time either, so he swapped out what i was using. He is not cheap, btw.  once he gave me the right meds, i think i had only one anxiety attack after that (thank God I didn't have alot altogether..)

if i can do anything else or you need my help getting the #'s, just let me know and we'll figure it out.

good luck,
mj

HI... listen, I have two suggestions so tell me which one you want:

The sleep specialist guy I told you about - I would go see him if you have had chronic sleep problems ... he was my "last stop" before a sleep clinic (which I have not done.)

If you want to go see the pychiatrist who helped me through some anxiety issues I went through about 2 years ago (i'm a little prone to anxiety, but it's amazing how a relationship can put you over the edge.. :) this guy is out in West LA and is one of the tops in the field for anxiety related disorders.  He's kind of a trip, but he really helped me...

Or both!  Let me know.. you can tell them who referred you, just not where you met me!!  :-)

Let me know which one(s) you want...happy to help!
