I am sorry I should not have used the term "squash", I confused the situation. Yes just eliminate the reward from the Othmer wide band inhibit.

Hi, (and thanks!)Did you mean a full 2-channel squash, or just eliminate the reward from the Othmer/wide-inhibit bipolar protocol?Thanks!Gretchen>> Gretchen~> Have you tried doing the full squash at T3 T4 and not using a reward?

She does very well with the Othmer T3/T4, with a reward at 8.5-11.5. It reduced/eliminated all issues with sleep, anxiety and depression. EXCEPT, it makes her very scattered! I have tried upping the reward (to 9.0-12.0), and she gets emotionally overwhelmed again. Lower rewards make the scatteredness worse.

Her experience with anti-depressants is that they send her lower and make her sleepier, and light therapy puts her to sleep. I've noticed that with the windowed squashes, the abund
