I am curious as to whether anyone has had sucess using the Fisher Wallace stimulator or the Alpha Stim for anxiety or depression or insomnia

I talked with my psychiatrist about it and he said his reading of literature about it led him to believe that the majority were not helped but that a minority were. A lot of money to spend on something that may not work. It is ultimately the choice of the person after reviewing all the facts about the efficacy of this device.

Thanks so much! I see that they offer a money back guarantee if it does not work.

It took them 8 weeks to get my money back to me. It's the same as floating them a loan for $700 interest free for 2 months.

I ordered a device three years ago to treat chronic insomnia and it's been great for me. I was addicted to sleeping medication and am now drug free. I use the device four or five times a week. My sleep is much improved and I'm dreaming again, which I find restorative. This is a terrific product and I'd recommend it highly to anyone suffering from the symptoms the device treats. The company staff is very helpful as well if you have questions.

Hello, @izze987 - Apologies for the delayed response. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I'm wondering if you'd share more about what sleep disorder you were diagnosed with?

I purchased the Fisher Wallace Stimulator for insomnia and recommend it. I am getting benefit from it. Use it every night and am getting longer and more restful sleep. I do not have depression or anxiety.

I bought and used this faithfully. It did nothing for anxiety, depression. Pain
