 Has anyone used this. My p-doc suggested I try it since antidepressants send me into mania almost before I swallow them. It is FDA approved for treating depression -also doing a 75 mg welbutan cut in half, half in the am half in the pm...

I went to the site that sells them and it sounds like it is worth a shot! I would be very anxious to hear of your results....I bet they are expensive????
WHAT IS ALPHA-STIM® TECHNOLOGY? Both the ALPHA-STIM® 100 and ALPHA-STIM® SCS (Stress Control System) treat anxiety, depression and insomnia. The ALPHA-STIM® 100 also treats acute, chronic, and postoperative pain and the ALPHA-STIM® PPM (Personal Pain Manager) is designed as an alternative to TENS for localized treatment of pain. The primary distinctive feature in a medical device is the waveform, and ALPHA-STIM® has a uniquely effective waveform. The application of direct electrical treatment to the brain, along with our treatment protocols for pain also makes the difference that no other device has been able to emulate. Further, ALPHA-STIM® technology has been shown to be far more cost effective than prescription drugs.

Thanks, I googled alot on it too. The ones just for depression/anxiety etc/ are around 500.00 but my doc rents them for 75.00 for 2 weeks so you can see if it works for you before you buy one. You have to have a script in the US to get one. Most places will let you rent to own. Some insurances will cover it, I don't know about mine yet, or if I can pay for it out of my medical spending account. I do know that I feel more relaxed at the end of the treatment, real depression relief takes 2-3 weeks. I will let you know...it would be great to eliminate one drug, especially one that causes manic side effects.I have only used it 2 days.
