Hi Jenrolil, my psychiatrist has started using this with his patients when their response to medication is not enough as well as when the fear of taking more meds is there. I understand through our conversation that it helps boost the Endorphin levels and can bring some relief of peace and calm in as little as 15-20 minutes.

The clips are placed on your ear lobes as you lie back and relax. It is not painful. The doctor provides this therapy prior to his office visit with you. I do not need this but wish this were around when I was in my worst stages of anxiety.

Like anything else, it may not work for everyone but when it does, it can provide that magic we are all looking for. I don't know if it is temporary or accumulative. It's best talked over with your psychiatrist or therapist. Good Luck should anyone go that route and Please let us know how it worked
