It may have changed, but I recall that the Alpha-Stim had 2 models, the cheaper one if you "only" had depression, anxiety and insomnia, and the more expensive one if you also had physical pain. I have all 4, so tried the more expensive one, but it did nothing for any of these problems. The website says these devices are FDA approved for these indications, but it doesn't mean they had placebo trials like is required for new meds, they were "grandfathered" in when FDA regulations changed, meaning they didn't have to show proof of effectiveness, merely show that they were similar to devices already on the market.
I put my 1st Emsam patch on about 2 hours ago-no side effects yet! Cecilia
