TMS-did it work,?

[Survivor920]

Hello, I've been suffering with MDD for 23 years on and off, while taking meds and going to therapy. On my 4th doctor and he is offering me to consider TMS. Any thoughts on this treatment? Positive or negative. Did it work for you? If so, how long did it work?😀

hi. I had 36 sessions. It didn’t help, and it made me unsteady on my feet

Hi, thanks for your response. How long ago was it?

I did a full treatment round and found it very helpful and I actually enjoyed it. The only downside was my teeth chattering so I chewed bubble gum while doing it and it helped cushion my teeth and my treatment was paid for by my insurance except for a small copay. I did it after trying ketamine infusions, did 4 treatments and found it wasn't helpful at all plus it was very physically draining and someone had to drive me to the treatments. With TMS, I was fine after the treatments and drove myself.

I suggest you make sure your hormones, thyroid and adrenals are all functioning optimally because they also directly affect our mood. The other thing that I found and is quite common is that doing good appropriate therapy is also required for healing.
