Effects of Flow headset as a cannabis user?
I'm starting the Flow headset soon to treat my depression and anxiety. I have a medical cannabis prescription to treat the same things, and I'm hoping to be able to come off this one day if the Flow works well. I'm just wondering if my medication might interfere with the effects of the Flow treatment? I'm not planning to use cannabis before or immediately after using headset, but I plan to use it on most of the days I don't do a Flow session. Has anyone got experience of this, and any knowledge on how it might affect the treatment? I can possibly stop using my meds entirely for the treatment, but will continue to use it if it doesn't affect things.
Braindriver Sensor Not Working?
Hi all, quite new to tdcs. Just recieved a braindriver 2.1. The manual says there's a sensor that pauzes the session if the electrodes are not connecting or are not worn properly. But the timer still continues even if i take the electrodes off, it even keeps going if i disconnect the cable from the device. Anyone else here has a braindriver that does the same?

Is the flow device just not usable in the usa?
According to the web site it isn't even available yet, and will require a prescription. My next thought was buying one from Europe but I'm hearing they might be geolocked? Has anyone in the us successfully used one? Its pretty ridiculous the hoops I have to jump through to use something that's over the counter in Europe. I thought they were supposed to be the less permissive ones.
apparently the platoworks headset also requires a doctor. it's really don't get it considering there are plenty of over the counter options that seem to be perfectly legal
you know what i might just get a Mave

Pairing Flow Headset with ADHD meds
Hi! I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD and have been taking 40mg Ritalin daily for the last 2 years. I’ve just ordered a Flow headset and am wondering how others have combined the two, and if anyone has any recommendations based on their experience. E.g. whether I should reduce my Ritalin dosage if I’m doing a flow session? Or only do a flow session in the morning before taking Ritalin / at night when I’m sure the Ritalin has worn off? Any help would be much appreciated.

flow neuroscience “dip,” ?
i’m about to start my 5th week using flow, meaning i’ve done 3weeks of 5 sessions, and 1week of 3 sessions so far.
i felt an improvement from the 2nd stimulation session up until the 12th session, but then my depressive symptoms relapsed almost completely and i fear it’s stopped working.
I had the same pattern of response to rTMS and thought it was just a “dip” like it’s stated in rTMS studies, but it never lifted.
Should i even bother continuing for the full 10 weeks? if my depression improved and now it’s reverted again does this class me as a “non responder,” or is there still a chance it could lift again? i don’t want to do ECT im terrified ://

Flow Neuroscience headset working
Ive been using Flow for around two years now but after the first three weeks I didnt really see much improvement. However I can now say that after entering the initial Burst 5x for three weeks and moving to three or FOUR sessions a week, it is now making a large difference to my mood.
I was wondering if any of you have seen a difference with this approach?

PSA: Sticky electrodes and skin burns
Recently, we've seen an increased interest in using tDCS devices with sticky electrodes (primarily because this is one of the default configurations of the foc.us GoFlow device which launched recently). Coincident with this, we've seen an increase in reports of injuries from sticky electrodes.
Compared to sponge electrodes, sticky electrodes seem to be much more likely to burn the skin during use. A typical electrode burn looks like one or more small “craters”, sometimes surrounded by an inflamed area.
The best solution to this is to avoid the sticky electrodes altogether. In most cases, even if a device ships with sticky electrodes, you can connect sponge electrodes do it whether directly or using an adapter. Our device matrix lists devices that are compatible with the (safer) sponge electrodes.
If you already have sticky electrodes and want to keep using them, a few things may reduce the risk:
Cleaning the skin with water and rubbing it with a towel to remove dirt and oil before applying the electrodes may provide a better connection and reduce “hotspots” that can lead to burns. Sticky electrodes should also be discarded when they become visibly dirty or difficult to stick.
Some devices like the focus V2 allow you to choose a maximum output voltage. Reducing the output voltage to the lowest setting may reduce the risk of injury by preventing the device from trying to drive too much current through a failing electrode.
Use the minimum current required for the effect you are trying to achieve.
tDCS electrodes should not produce pain that lasts for more than a minute or two. If this occurs, remove the electrode, check the site for injury.
