Anyone try Transcranial magnetic stimulation

Posted by johnbluffside @johnbluffside, Jan 1 7:57am

I have tried atleast 8 different anti anxiety rx. ALL have horrible side effects on me & very dangerous possibilities.
I have been suggested by my Dr to try this procedure. It is a commitment about 6 weeks long daily 20 minute sessions. Could be up to $15,000 out of pocket.
There are no guaranties.
I have Mayos information.
Please share your experiences.
I have tried gut therapy, increasing my water , supplements, daily walking, weekly massages and a healthy diet.
Thank you!!!

Are you positive that your medical insurance won't pay for this, or at least a large percentage of it? I have Medicare and an AARP UnitedHealthCare supplement. And I know that those plans would cover it.

Hello. I have had 2 complete cycles of TMI. Unfortunately, I had no relief from my depression. I know a lot of people have found it very beneficial. Fortunately, my treatment was covered by insurance.

Hi! I have been diagnosed with Treatment Resistant Depression, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I tried 2 rounds of it and it did not help at all.
