i was talking with my psychologist about some issues about the meds not working, and him repeately that they are potent at the dose, and my body has cancelled it out at times, which i've posted here in the past about my meds snot working.....so he told me a point that there is low brain voltage that doesnt work even with osychitric meds.....
i mean.....would the shock help this? and the only thing with shock is memories are lost and parts of tbe brain are changed....there is one where it only sends electricity to one section, i think it's the right, because it's less harsh
but the thing is.....shock can give the brain a boost, but it can slow down after many months after or years.....
what else is there to increase voltage?

I did TMS and it did nothing. There is a NY Time article on the internet that reveals that TMS is really only effective in 14% of the people that get it.

thats intresting.....still if i ask to get the shock, the reason im doing it is because my psychologist told me low brain voltage can cause alot treatment not to work, but yea the only thing with shock is it messes up memories and causes diffrent effects
maybe there's a machine that can increase voltage with out having the shock?

yeah, TMS can. I am starting to feel some effects even after 3 sessions of treatment, which is not typical, but TMS is supposedly synergistic with meds and I am on a sh*t ton of ADs.funny your doctor is talking about brain voltage when you're on a lot of Lamictal -- anticonvulsants by their very nature decrease the excitability of the brain and neuronal firing. But it's not as simple as increasing or decreasing brain voltage.. just keep trying man. Hopefully eventually you will be able to find a combination or treatment that works well with you under care (i.e., doctors) that you are satisfied with. Your situation isn't permanent -- everything is temporary.
Best,
Tom
