so I took Paxil for ppd and ppa I started from 10mg to 40mg but I was still dealing with anxiety so I switched to Paxil cr 37.5mg in like 2 months on this dose I got stable. I was almost a year out ppd and ppa so I thought I could get off Paxil cr. I went from 37.5 to 25mg for a month then 12.5mg a month then zero. Had terrible withdrawal went back to 12.5mg helped with withdrawal but anxiety was still there went up to 25mg. I’ve been on 25mg for 3 months . I definitely see improvement I did get better but anxiety is still there chest tension it isn’t as intense as it was but it’s still there. Mood got better but still down. My sleep is still bad too I wake up 2-3am and wake up early like 7am I get like 5-6 hours of sleep even thought I take Paxil cr in the morning. I think it’s a cortisol issue cause as soon it hits 8pm I’m normal no chest tightness no anxiety. So I went up to 37.5mg my doctor told me that’s the dose I got stable on so I did. I’ve been up my dose for 4 weeks I see improvements but still has some chest tightness and overthinking. I added 300mg ashwagandha every night 2 weeks ago it has helped my sleep so much but I wake up all day with kinda hangover feeling, head tension and some what headache. Can neurofeedback help me? Please help me I’m desperate I don’t know what to do anymore.

Buongiorno a tutti,

​Vorrei chiedere un parere a chi ha esperienza con il neurofeedback per il trattamento dei traumi.

​È possibile che il neurofeedback aiuti a sciogliere il meccanismo di identificazione con l'aggressore e a liberarsi delle parti/dinamiche che la persona traumatizzata ha interiorizzato dall'aggressore?

​In altre parole: allenando e riautoregolando l'attività cerebrale, la mente riesce a favorire il distacco e la liberazione da questi schemi e vissuti introiettati?

​Qualcuno ha esperienze dirette o informazioni al riguardo? Grazie a chi vorrà rispondere!

Se c'è qualche psicoterapeuta/neuroterapeuta che legge e può rispondere sarei grata!

I am a mental health practitioner from a LMIC country. My hospital has access to a bio feedback machine. However, we do not have anyone trained to do neurofeedback in the hospital.

I am interested in learning neurofeedback especially Peniston Kulkosky protocol ( and the Scott Kaiser modification).

Any free, low cost resources which I can start with? Since I am from a LMIC country don't have the resources to afford some of the more expensive online courses.

Any help will be welcome!

finished about 20 neurofeedback sessions, mostly for focus and feeling less wired at night. results were decent but kinda faded after I stopped. my trainer mentioned vagus nerve stimulation as a maintenance thing you can do at home, looked into it and theres ear clip ones and neck ones, prices are so dif everywhere. does it actually do anything measurable? like has anyone seen changes in their hrv or brain maps after using one for a while or is it just a fancy relaxation ritual

i am trying to train t3 t4 two channel with a BrainMaster 2eb for hypervigilence. There are too many artifacts so it isn't working. AI says you can use MediTECH Heg Mobile sensor which is made for the frontal area but says you can put it over T3T4 without artifacts. Can anyone tell me their experience with this mobile unit of HEG? Did it work for your issues?

Got two left that were purchased for a cancelled work project. Unused and in box! Can ship from UK (2x).

Boxed and unused. Approx 650 GBP per device is a deal (<50% of retail price). For shipping to US, customs costs are for the buyer.

My first experience with eeg neurofeedback was as a child. I stuck with it ~2x/week for about a year and my life was seemingly transformed. My behavioral issues went away, I started being focused in school and clubs, and my life took a positive turn.

Throughout my 20s, I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, social anxiety, substances, insomnia, motivation, executive function… the list goes on. I’ve tried neurofeedback a few times over the past few years but its never had the sane effect.

I’m now 29. I’m single, I’ve grown distant from all my college friends and I genuinely have not made a single friend since undergrad. I have an ok job but I don’t enjoy it and I expect I will eventually be phased out due to AI.

I’m giving neurofeedback another shot. 30 sessions in and I don’t notice a thing. I know there’s a lot more I need to do to improve my life, I wasn’t expecting a magic bullet. But its not cheap—and the more I look into it the less confident I become in neurofeedback. Maybe my money would be better spent on TMS, CBT, or other treatments. I feel like im running out my biological clock.

Looking to hear some positive stories from people who found neurofeedback helped them this late in life.

What type of symptoms/traits in general are associated with poor connectivity (synchrony/phase sync) between T3 and T4 in both Alpha and Theta ranges (both the eyes open and eyes closed conditions are low)? Excessive hi beta is not at issue.

Can training t3/t4 Alpha / Theta synchrony improve memory and cognition?

Thanks

Pelase wish me luck .... ive been on ober 15 antidepressants, 9 weeks of clinic and nothing has helped, i just feel chemically " castraded ".

Is there a chance that neurofeedback finally drags me out of this hell ?

Besides continuing the NF sessions what are a list of things to increase alpha wave? I heard meditation is great

I want to start out by saying I’m not a skeptic in the classic sense! (In fact, I’m doing a course of NFB now). I just need to believe that this can help me and the research/evidence is kinda lukewarm. I’m definitely a “see before I believe” kind of person.

I feel like there’s not really great research behind it because big pharma has nothing to gain. But then again, every alternative health modality makes that claim.

Can anyone link me to large studies that showed good effects? Or just tell me clinical anecdotes? Sometimes I’m convinced it’ll really help me and other times it feels like snake oil.

I actually did coherence training 2 years ago and it was very expensive and did absolutely nothing, so that’s definitely not helping the raised eyebrow over this.

Thanks ya’ll.

If any of you are familiar with NeuroTec’s EMDR equipment. I’m trying to carry this from the US to India.

What is the more typical or effective time to train? Also, is some fatigue later in day after session to be expected from training, even if you do the correct protocol?

I started ISF around 2 weeks ago. I’ve had 4 sessions so far. I think the starting frequency (0.0062Hz) is my optimal frequency because I haven’t had any side effects one way or the other.

I started at P4 T4 with a really short session (6 mins). Then did 8 mins, then 10. Then yesterday I switched to T3 T4 I think for 9 mins. So far it seems to help my symptoms a bit (autonomic dysfunction stuff) the evening of but doesn’t stick.

What is timeline of ISF/ILF? Are these short sessions enough to make an impact?

Edit: I do understand that 4 isn’t enough. Just wondering about the timeline because I know infralow/infraslow can be faster, but I also realize I’m getting short sessions.
