Can Neurofeedback training be used while a patient is on medication?
Yes. Therapists report many patients start Neurofeedback while on one or more medications.After a number of Neurofeedback sessions, a reduction in medications is not unusual. It’s very important that the client’s doctor be alerted if signs of overmedication occur. If that doctor is not open to reducing dosages when presented with signs of overmedication, then training may need to be discontinued. An example: a 42-year-old female was being seen by a therapist. She had been on four medications for five years to treat depression. After 40 sessions, she was only using one medication at a reduced dosage, with improved mood and affect.
