I hope you find it helpful for you. I started chewing a big wad of gum and biting it between my teeth to help with the effects of the chattering although the pain was minor and went away soon after the treatment. I actually got to where I looked forward to the treatments and glad I did it.

Ok.... but im not feeling anything, no twitching, no teeth chattering, like nothing. Does it mean, its working or not? N how u figure out that this treatment helps u n after how many sessions u start seeing difference? TIA

It could be that they have started you out on a lower intensity and will be increasing it gradually. My teeth chattering wasn't uncomfortable it was more like they vibrated some from the magnetic pulses. I had a total of 36 sessions for my treatment and it took a while to feel better. Unfortunately after about half of the treatments I found out that part of my testosterone supplement was not working and when I was able to resume the corrected supplement I felt much better so I can't honestly say how much the TMS was helping me vs. having my hormones and thyroid functioning properly. it's been about 2 months since my last TMS session and I am still doing well and i'm glad I did it, I think it helped with balancing my overall mood and decreasing rumination and anxiety.

You might talk to your TMS therapist and tell them about the meds if you haven't and maybe they will want you to taper off the meds during the TMS treatment to see how much difference it makes for you.

I just finished my 33rd treatment yesterday. Three more to go. Plus I had a visit with my psychiatrist. We were able to cut one of my meds in half. I notice a little bit of progress. But it may not totally change until after I’m done. That’s what I found last time anyway (2020).
