Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

[azantos]

Has anymore here done Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. I have suffered from extreme anxiety and depression for 10 years and have tried what seems like every option from DBT, CBT, EDMR and many different meds. Did it work for you guys? What is the process or experience like? Would be very interested to hear some peer opinions.

I haven't heard of it. I look forward to seeing what others say.

TMS?? Yes I have. This was my experience:

I had to stop at session 30 because my anxiety was through the roof. My fiancé found 39 complaints about anxiety increasing during TMS and some said they never even had anxiety prior to TMS. It was explained to me that while it’s helping the depression on the left side of your brain, it opens up space for anxiety which is on the right side. I will say though; it was worth it. My depression is gone. Around session 25 myself and my family noticed I wasn’t down anymore. Of course I hated the anxiety but I’m managing it now with meds. I finally feel more balanced. It works differently for everyone. A lot of people don’t feel results until session 30+ and others feel results on session 8. Google NueroStar TMS. That’s what I researched prior to applying. Oh and no matter what anyone says, insurance DOES cover it. But if you do it on the right side as well, it’s out of pocket because FDA hasn’t approved it yet. Good luck!! Keep me posted!!
