Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Greetings! How much will medications skew the results of a TLC? I did a brain map on the client of another clinician, who forgot to tell the client not to take medications prior to the map. We were going to forgo the map (for other reasons as well), but continued due to scheduling issues, and the dire circumstances of the client (can't get out of bed, showering is overwhelming, difficult to get anywhere). The map shows excessive levels of 2-4 Hz, and 19-38 Hz, everywhere. Beta peak frequencies range 20-34. Theta/beta ratios are as low as 0.19, among other issues. Here are the meds involved: Ambien 10mg at 4am Percocet at 7am Adderall at 10am Brain map at 2pm (usually, these are before 11am, extenuating circumstances) What do you think? Thanks!

Sounds like he/she has a serious illness. > > Greetings! > > How much will medications skew the results of a TLC? > > I did a brain map on the client of another clinician, who forgot to tell the client not to take medications prior to the map.
