Has Anyone Had Success with TMS Therapy?

Posted by ellemccope @ellemccope, Dec 1, 2024

Has anyone had success with TMS Therapy? I have just completed 12 out of 36 sessions but do not, yet, feel any relief from my treatment resistant depression and anxiety. If you’ve had success, how long did it take before you started noticing an improvement in symptoms?

I think you should both retire & enjoy your lives….. Especially if you think that’s what’s adding to your depression!…… Take a breath & relax!!!

Easier said then done. There are way too many, many flies in the Pie.
My brother owns half the business. He is 92 and dosen't want to retire,
He want's to drop dead at his workbench. I would be stuck with the Building, property, customers, Their Tools(Molds) , Seven large injection molding machines, A ton of stock plastic materials and machine tools.
My brothers wife, His son who is on vacation since High School. He is 45 years old now and has no interest in the business or anything else for that matter.

I did TMS for 3 months and I did see improvements but the problem was it didn't last and that seems to be the problem with TMS.

I have thought about it, but am afraid it would increase my chronic headaches....

I use an Alpha Stim and started recently with neurofeedback. I love my Alpha Stim, bought it for anxiety and insomnia.

I tried TMS two years ago and it did not work. I believe it might work for depression but not anxiety. I have ocd, anxiety and depression. I was very disappointed but not everyone has the same result. I think the only thing you can do is try it.

I am 3 sessions short of my 36 sessions. I have gotten no relief at all. Disappointed and frustrated. They want me to do 10 more sessions. I don’t think I want to continue. Feeling tired was my only side effect.

Are you on any other medication.? How does it work for your anxiety and insomnia. Do you use it every day. I tried TMS and it didn’t work. I’m curious about Alpha Stim.

@malebreastcancer47 also very interested in your experiences. I am wondering if you have headaches, migraines, or any type of pain condition that you may have noticed it helped.
