Hi Scott,
I was thinking of trying the treatments again. They helped when I did them before but I had no follow up so I relapsed pretty quick. For some reason, I got a weird bad feeling or dysphoria along with the lifting of the depression. I thought I would try a different placement, either bifrontal or unilateral if I did it again.
My main problem was that I was really bothered by waking up disoriented and delirious after the bilateral treatments. I tried them a couple of times since, but dropped out after one or two treatments. Maybe I could get a them give more i.v. ativan or versed afterwards. I had 1mg before and that made a big difference.
Dave
