Some thoughts on all of the above...I had an experience with hypnosis 25 years ago. After breaking a neck bone in an accident, I went to a 4-day pain clinic that focused on self-hypnosis. As you can all relate to, I was nervous the night before and couldn't sleep. They managed to hypnotize me the first day (maybe it was my imagination, or my dingy state of mind), but every day thereafter I could not be hypnotized, even though I wanted to be. No matter what they say, not everyone can be hypnotized.
Also, regarding Aussie-Dreamer's idea that the effect of anti-depressants can continue after stopping them, this happened to a friend of mine. He took someone else's free samples of Paxil, only a month's worth. He said it showed him that there was another way, another mental state he could be in, and he never forgot it. It sounded similar to some experiences I had with certain illegal drugs back in the sixties. Just goes to show, no one thing is going to work for everyone, and the thing that works for you may not work for anyone else. If only we can figure out what that is!
