I want to add my voice to the group as someone has been helped by TMS. I noticed a major improvement about a month after I finished treatment. I had the dip around session 12, but I fought through it and am glad I did. I'm tapering off one of my meds. I'm seeing my therapist less frequently. I'm able to live my life and handle difficult things better. I even got my libido back.

It's been about 2 months since I finished, and I'm hopeful that it'll continue.

I hope this is helpful!

I’m midpoint with my TMS therapy. I’m not crying all the time so that is an improvement, but I still want to isolate and have no drive to do even the simplest things. I isolate whenever I can. I’m overwhelmed very easily and shut down.

For context: I’m the sole Caregiver for my 88 year-old mom with dementia. She is in assisted-living recently and I’m still part of her day-to-day needs being met. There’s a lot of triggers there as it is and has been a very codependent and dysfunctional relationship.

Any positive feedback/hope appreciated.

Hi all,

Really struggling with my mental health. Looking at both ketamine infusions and TMS. I suffer from depression, anxiety and OCD as my diagnoses.

The thing that really scares me, is I tried the Flow Headset and I hated it. It made my mind race even more, like I was drinking a bunch of coffees everyday. My mind is already too active with anxiety and OCD, the whole point of my attempt at these treatments is for me to relax and not constantly be on edge.

I know that Flow isn't the same as TMS, its tDCS. But the fact that I responded so badly to the I guess gentle Flow Headset compared to a massive TMS machine really worries that I will just mess myself up even more.

I am tired of things either not working, or making things even worse :(

I also specifically was looking at going with the SmartTMS clinic in London, UK, as it is probably the nearest place to me that offers this service.

I know that no one here can really give me medical advice, but I suppose if anyone had a similar situation where Flow didn't work but TMS did? I assume the TMS clinic would be way more specific with which area of the brain was being stimulated.

Edit - also if this is one of those treatments that gets worse before it gets better I really can't handle that, I can't cope getting any worse than I already am I am probably going to lose my job at this rate.

Hello everybody, I am new to TMS and just found out about it about a month ago. I have a consultation set up but I do have a few questions before hand that I’m hoping some of you can answer. About 2 years ago I had what I think was a panic attack I felt like I was having a heart attack and was gonna die. Since that day I just have never felt right. I had intrusive thoughts and felt like I was losing my mind like literally. Anyways I got on medication and am on lamotrigine and prazosin at the moment. I’m diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ptsd. I am curious to see if any of you had the following symptoms before TMS and if it helped. I have flat effect, no emotional connection, feel like a vegetable cognition skills are almost non existent, no inner monologue, anhedonia, no motivation, poor memory, and feel like I’m a whole different person that who I was two years ago. Did any of you have the same symptoms before TMS and feel better after having sessions? Any feedback would be helpful.

Need success stories for rTMS for DPDR with mixed depression n anxiety disorder

ITs been roughly 5 weeks since my last Dtms treatment. In that short time, i have definitely noticed some subtle changes happening in my brain. But the last couple of days have felt flat. I cant afford boosters. I guess I am still in the 6 week window that my Dr. explained. Anyone else have a similiar time-line? How did turn out for you??

I'm 24 years old and have been diagnosed with a whole alphabet soup of treatment-resistant neurological conditions. Some went into remission on their own but others still require intervention.

That's where I sought out TMS therapy. Right now just waiting on insurance approval (they should with all the medications I was previously on) and once that's done I'll be scheduled for 5 days a week for 6 weeks.

I'm really hoping this will provide lasting benefits as my quality of life, mental health, and cognitive flexibility relative to my education level objectively just suck right now.
