@clutch- I have an initial appointment this coming week to discuss this. I'm really excited to discuss this with my new dr. What kind of maintenance are you referring to?

@merpreb , I don't believe it was me talking about maintenance...but it's when a patient needs additional (TMS) Therapy over and beyond the normal 36 round treatments. It keeps the response level up in the brain, hopefully. I havre had two complete rounds of therapy plus six more after this last round. I did get a response both times, albeit small, at the end of treatment. That is the reason we added six more..trying to keep the response up. I am going to try esketamine next.
Let us know how it goes.with your treatment.
