12 mental health drugs??? I am on Medicare. TMS is noninvasive, lower risk of side effects. It's been around since 1985 and was FDA approved in 2008 for MDD and medication resistant MDD and is covered by Medicare. I just think maybe it is the better place to start for me. I'm doing loads of research on all 3. Now would love to hear from people who have experienced it (good or bad). Thanks for your input.

@blessedintx - they aren't all mental health drugs, but they are all chemicals. Boo.
I have a lot of body problems - heart failure (Mom and Little Bro died of it in the last two years), RLS, gastroparesis, blah blah blah. I hate all the meds, but they determine survival (RLS makes one want to quit life after awhile...). So I shove down my horror at all the pills and swallow them... 7 times a day because their timing is so complicated. Blech.
I'm going to try energy healing. I'm also looking for a dietician who is good with both heart healthy and gastroparesis diets, because I can't figure it out - the diets are exactly opposite from each other!
What is TMS and MDD. I haven't heard of these two terms before.
Thank you, Pat!

Hello, @blessedintx,
It is terrible to read you are on so many different medicines, and it seems to me you get no help either. 450 mg Wellbutrin (I believe the generics name is Bupropion). I know because I take Bupropion. I used to take 300 mg and I had to cut it off and went down to 100 x 2 daily. In addition, you take 5 other medications for Major depressive disorder. I am no doctor, but l am surprised you are able to do your job at all. No wonder you are exhausted when you get home, and your son and husband only get to experience the frustrated and hurt part of your temperament. I have tried TMS. I have written somewhere about it. It was a very bad experience for me. But that does not mean it is going to be bad for you.
