Worsening depression
Been using for ten days and my depression has worsened significantly over the last few days (and I can think of no other cause than the Alpha Stim). I don't normally cry but spent hours crying today and having extrememly negative thoughts, cried yesterday too, and on thursday I felt very unbalannced moodwise. I'm wondering if its causing my dysthymia to turn into major depression. Also got minor burns on my ears from using the electrodes (with pads). I feel extremely disappointed as I certainly didn't expect my symptoms to worsen. Now i'm wondering if all of the positive stuff i've read on the net is actually the manufacturers posting and not genuine ppl. I may trial it for a few more days as is sposed to take longer to work on depression but it is making my depression worse so unless there is a n about turn I guess its unwise of me to continue..
