hi everyone-
i thought it might be interesting for some of you to follow my progress in a depression study i got into here in los angeles at ucla. here is some info about it;
http://www.newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/non-invasive-therapy-significantly-169741.aspx
i just got the device today and will be using it for 12 weeks. going-up to ucla every 2 weeks for interviews and a qeeg of my brain during those 12 weeks.
the device is pretty simple. it's about the size of an ipod. it has 2 wires that run to 2 outlets that are attached to a large band-aide type material on your forehead. (this band-aide deal is used once and then disposed of.) it's not cumbersome at all really. about every 15 seconds you have a 10 second or so very lite electrical charge that you feel thru your forehead up towards your hairline, if you got one. they want you to wear it at least 8 hours a day or night.
so, i just put it on and am hoping for the best. this is to augment the remeron and klonopin i'm on.
i'll try to post every so often to let you all know how it goes.
john
