My name is Kevin, I live in NY and I was diagnosed with depression at age 17 and had been put on paxil, prozac, celexa, zoloft and last I was put on effexor. All were successful for months maybe a year at a time before I needed to make adjustments or changes. Then along came the nightmare 5 years later of my medications not working for me any longer. I developed panic attacks and severe anxiety to accompany my then severe depression. I ended up losing a great job and relationship over this illness. At age 24 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder with manic depression where a mood stabilizer called Depakote was given to me to accompany my anti-depressant Wellbutrin. Anti-depressants would not work for me until I was taking this mood stabilizer with it. It worked for me for 3 years, until I reached a point where I no longer responded to this treatment. I was given Lamictal, a drug that was also a mood stabilizer because obviously the Depakote stopped working for me. That worked for 6 months then stopped. My suicidal thoughts were crowding my mind and I started once again feeling myself hitting rock bottom. My Dr. at the time then started giving me more options of medication…..she tried giving me other mood stabilizers and trying to decrease and increase my Wellbutrin to see if I could find any relief. Nothing was working. She put me back on my Depakote and kept me on Wellbutrin to again try and find something to work for me. I was feeling as if I was on my last leg until she called me in one day, and asked me if I would be interested in trying an alternative treatment that she recommends to patients who stop or don’t respond well to chemical treatment, and has a high success rate, and could possibly give me the chance to get off all my medications and stay off them forever. I was absolutely interested and was going to take her up on the offer. She referred me to a Dr. Larsen near me that lives in New Paltz, NY. He is an author and a professor as well. That specializes in a biofeedback treatment in which he issues a simple “painless” brainwave treatment through a computer. It’s called LENS “Low Energy Neurofeedback System”. He first does a brain scan of the activity in your brain by just putting sensors on various spots of your head. The computer takes a reading and shows the activity of your brainwaves showing where you have abnormal areas. Using magnetic and electrical stimulation (that you don’t even feel). It is also used to help children suffering with autism, ADD, ADHD and seizures and believe it or not cures 95% of them completely. To make a long story short, he had told me I would notice a difference between 1 and 10 sessions. He seemed confident he could help me, And that the results are permanent. This seemed too good to be true. I went every Wednesday to this treatment at 5:00. You sit down in a chair while he runs a 15 minute session, without feeling anything at all by putting 3 to 4 sensors on your head at different areas. I left the session and after 4 sessions I’ve noticed that my depression and anxiety was decreasing a huge amount over the next couple weeks, while taking my original dose of depakote 1000mg and 300mg of wellbutrin, are started feeling so good after a while I asked if we could try decreasing my dosages. He thought because I was showing great improvement that he thought it be a good idea to give it a try. Before I started this treatment if I so much as missed one of my pills one day the next day I felt horrible with anxiety and bedridden from lack of motivation and joy. My psychiatrist agreed because she had referred many patients to Dr. Larsen. It was only 7 sessions later we dropped to 500 mg of depakote. And I was fine, soon then to 250mg that I am currently on. I still feel incredible. The best I have ever felt in my life. It’s been 15 sessions later now, I go now every other Wednesday, and Dr. Larsen says to me he doesn’t think ill need the treatment much longer. Just until I’m off my medication completely we’ll continue. This method is a miracle in my eyes that needs to be practiced by more Doctors. But I understand drug companies would lose mad money if everyone was feeling good enough to get off there medications so its obvious the drug companies would like to keep it quiet. So many suffering people out there struggling with depression and on medication that’s failing them may have another option here. I strongly recommend it, if you wish to get rid of your depression, seizures, anxiety, panic attacks, and schizophrenia or bipolar COMPLETELY and possibly get off most or ALL of your medication. Its worth a try isn’t it? you cant put a price on your health. Go get your life back. * removed * Good luck.
