    Fisher Wallace Stimulator

    This has made a HUGE difference, major improvements, for me.

    • Length of Use: Less than 3 months
    Overall Experience:

    I have been utilizing the Fisher Wallace device for about 2 weeks now, as prescribed, twice a day for 20 minutes. I noticed the calming effects even in the first session, and the lasting effects after about a week. I have struggled with significant generalized anxiety disorder and moderate depression since my 20s and perhaps even earlier. I am now in my mid 40s continuing with talk therapy but have in the past tried many prescription drugs over the years. Anxiety benzodiazepines, like Xanax, included, which also nearly led to my committing suicide, so I am sworn to never medicate my mental health issues with pharmaceuticals again.

    After starting treatment with this simple device my horrible anxiety is seemingly gone. Negative self-talk and depressive feelings greatly reduced and replaced with a feeling of being OK, even feelings of optimism in spite of the quarantine being at the 1-year marker! I have had many nights of sleeping right through now with the FW device, though in the first days I did have a few intense dreams/nightmares that seem to have subsided. Great sleep, despite my longstanding issue of insomnia.

    Pros and Cons:

    • Relieved anxiety!
    • Greatly reduced depressive thoughts, more energy.
    • Better quality sleep and ability to fall back asleep when awakened have been restored.
    • Feelings of calm when using the device.
    • More energy.
    • Takes a bit of adjusting to get the sponges in the right spot, but the device indicates when you've got it.
    • Having to wet the sponges.
    • Having to hide the fact I'm using this because it looks weird to family.
    • Cost prevented me from buying one for years, but the Corona stimulus and discount made it possible finally!

    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
