panic attack-like behaviors developed after neurofeedback

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I remember reading someone posted about developing panic attack after

starting neurofeedback.

On the next day of his second neurofeedback session, my 22-year-old ASD

son started to have panic attack-like behaviors.

Small ones but intense. We discontinued neurofeedback for now until he

is better and giving him lots of calming supplements like inositol by

the spoonfuls, GABA, taurine, etc. but not quite out of it yet.

It seems that everytime he is hungry, his tolerance falls so short and

can't stand any oppositions and blows up. He never had such behaviour

before and I'm very concerned.

I was wondering if anyone else had such experience and how you got out

of it.

I will really appreciate any feedback.

Best,

These are adrenal symptoms.

I am not sure what about neurofeedback would trigger them, but in any

case....adrenal support/treatment would help it.

I had this 3 years ago after neurofeedback. I had never had a panic attack in

my life and after a few sessions of neuro I was having them and also extreme

outbursts of anger - had never had those either.

It lasted quite a while after a stopped the neuro. I never did anything

specifically to stop them, but once I got on adrenal and thyroid support, I

haven't had them. The Dr. who was giving me the neuro had no idea why they were

happening. I was never told about any possible negative side effects of the

treatment. Only that it would be easy and wonderful and I would regain my

health. Obviously that didn't happen. I would never try it again.

Hi

My then 6yo son did NF & when a certain point on his head

was trained (can't recall which point), he became obviously

aggressive & wanting to attack at slightest provocation.

We stopped for about 3-4 weeks & the symptoms subsided

a lot. That's as much as I can say.

Hope your son gets better,

My neurofeedback therapist said this does happen to some people and

that the quickest way to get past it is to continue NFB. The brain

is " resetting " (not the technical term) and it has to work thru some

of the old gunk to get better. It's basically like a cleansing we

see with some supplements; where you have to endure the negative for

a little bit while the body clears out some stuff.

I would speak to your NFB therapist and see what they say. My son

went to NFB for extreme anxiety and he lost that quickly, but then

switched to ADHD type behaviors. We have continued to do NFB thru

the unpleasant symptoms and they always level out quickly.

I'm sorry your experience was bad. I think supplementing to help is

good, but am concerned that stopping b/c of an unpleasant symptoms

will keep you from getting the full benefit of NFB.
