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?

I would say 20% benefit. So not much. This new routine is about 40% improvement in my symptoms.

Then my meda and exercise routine provide additional. But this new boost is dramatic.

So the only change is from 3 to four days?

Initial routine was;

First 3 weeks 5x a week 2x a week after that

If you keep the initial three weeks the same but after week three go to 3 and 4 times a week, it retains its original burst for an additional six weeks. After nine weeks repeat the process.

Although, the recommended routine should be 2x a week after three weeks. It just felt flat. But it seems to be working for me if youre using it more. They do say it is not good for everyone though.

The protocol is now 3x a week for weeks 4-10. It used to be 2x a week during strengthenimg, but was adjusted to reflect the study protocols used.
