Has Anyone Had Success with TMS Therapy?

ellemccope,
I had to get back on Sertraline (Zoloft) and Lorazepam (Ativan).
I am managing fairly well. I try to stay on 3 Lorazepam a day. I take the 3rd Lorazepam at bedtime. Unfortunately, they stop working in the morning anytime from 4 AM when I wake up, the awful depression always hits me. Often I take half a Lorazipam to help till about 9:30 AM. Then I take my regular 1 pill of Zoloft and Lorazepam. The rest I take spaced out during the day. I want to retire, but my brother wants to drop at his bench. I'm 80 he's 90. So this is causing the majority of my depression. We argue a lot about this.
Try to take it a day at a time even with this damn sickness swirling around in our heads.
I really, really hope that you find a solution to your problems and get some
of the fun? part back in your life.
Good Luck.

Hi, Pete - I’m so sorry for all that you’re going through. I took Zoloft from 1996 to 2020 when it “pooped out” on me. So, for the last 4 years, my psychiatrist and I have tried numerous other meds and they either didn’t work or the side effects were intolerable. Now, I’m trying TMS therapy.
Please take care of yourself —take some “me” time everyday, if you can, to relax, unwind and do something you enjoy. Most of all, please remember you’re not alone. There are so many wonderful people like you on this forum who understand and empathize with what you’re experiencing . We’re all on this journey together.
I wish you all the best and feel free to reach out whenever you need to.
