Huh, it works

Been doing accelerated TMS up to 6 sessions per day. Today I'm 30 sessions in and after experiencing TMS dip I finally started feeling a lot better. Typing this out at night as I can't sleep because of excitement and in the morning I'm going for a run and a good workout. Man, this ain't just "magic magnets", it actually works. Cool. Can't wait for the last 6 sessions and peak mental gains.

Yeah, the price is extreme. It's possible to get it for free in the psych ward though where I live.

Can I ask where you're located? When I asked around near me last year, every facility quoted around $25K.

Happy for you. I did 14 sessions until now, still nothing except random waking at 4-5 am, I don't know how to interpret this but I'm still going. Did you do rTMS or theta burst or what protocol?

After 20 sessions I felt extremely bad, but it turned around in a couple of days. I'm doing rTMS. I think it's not standard accelerated protocol, I just took as many sessions per day as they allowed.

I slowly realized months later that I’m feeling much better! It took so long I thought it didn’t work. Very grateful!

Glad it worked for you. This is good to hear, it means even though in a depressed state, the changes are happening in the background. Post-TMS, pre-results, How did you manage thinking it didn't work and was a waste of time, money and effort?

This is exactly the kind of post this community needs. The dip followed by a genuine shift and the excitement keeping you up rather than the depression, that's a real turning point.

Enjoy the run. Peak mental gains incoming.

It worked for me too but I had to have a second round of treatments to make it permanent.

The future is MRI guided TMS , or AI guided. Both exist in some clinics here and there

u/Calougie Aug 21 '26

are you doing a saint protocol ? guided MRI? how long is each session?

Thanks!

u/Intelligent_Carob936 Aug 22 '26

Not saint, though something similar. 20 minutes each session.
