Mike,

What you write is all true.

I want to add this.
At one point in my treatment, I went to a PM psychiatrist, to have her take me down, to least meds possible.
I got to the point where I stopped methadone completely for four months. I don't recall if I took some otc med, but that would have been the most.
I do believe I still took some diazepam for sleep, and headache prevention.


I was then, we thought, "clear enough" to make a decision.
That decision was, NO WAY!

God gave us these meds, I'm going to make use of the smallest amount I can!
(I had work to do, and a family to provide for).

And, so I did.
My opinion of Provigal is only that. It did give me benefit for three years! After the tbi!
Then, MY propensity to HA, forced me to stop.

To each, their own. What's right for me, might not be right for you!

I learned about HBOT, by actually diving.
I took lessons, and thought, ya know, there's NO WAY, I can do this tomorrow. I was exhausted. I woke up the next day, and felt great!
So I know that the O2, permeated into our muscles at "depth" is a great pain reliever, and, it's also good for our grey matter.

I use O2 with my cpap.

Also, Mike,
I've been on other ADHD meds, due to the TBI, and some helped for a bit. That was all.
Then, they drove me nutzo.

So, as you're stating, You do what' best for you, because you have a doctor you trust!

Very good observations, and writing Mike!
I thank you!!!
