You're missing the truly golden opportunity in which I completely crack up and keep posting. I'm already a pretty good neurotic blogger. Imagine how powerful I could be after I lost my shit 581% and went over the Dark Side to be a truly psychotic blogger?
Thanks for the good words. Mad science is our last best hope against madness.
"I hope to report some good result by the end of the year." I hope you do.
I don't really know jack about NFB, but it does seem reasonable that something with such an obvious (side-)effect on one's cognition could at least in theory have a positive effect as well, hopefully a long-term one.
P.S. How has it felt, overall, to be medication-free this last little while?
I hope, too, that you can look back and feel positive about your therapy and be able to really say goodbye to the meds. I haven't reached a place in my life where I'm at that comfort level, and as I've said before, if I grow an extra limb out the back of my head from decades of imipramine usage it's okay. Maybe I'll finally get that one section of hair to lay RIGHT after all these years!

Congrats on almost being done with neurofeedback!
"Apparently many NFB practitioners deny that there are painful effects."
Do you mean physical effects or are you referring to how it affects one's life overall? If the latter, I definitely agree: Neurofeedback should be administered strictly for therapeutic use, and only when necessary. However, I favor neurofeedback over pharmaceuticals.
I hope you find that neurofeedback, despite being a struggle, has been worthwhile for you.

It has been the worst experience of my life. I'll let you know when I stop detoxing and know what's going on for real.

Here's to a newer normal?
