TMS therapy

Posted by mlpbob @mlpbob, Sep 2 3:32pm

Has anyone done TMS therapy and had success?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

I will be interested to hear from anyone about TMS results.
My son was offered it but he refused (so far)...memory loss can happen and it's quite expensive.
Don't know if insurance will cover it.
It requires a commitment. I believe the # of recommended sessions is 20(?) done every week.
He tried 4 different anti-depressants and none were effective.
Can you share your circumstances? Thank you.

I’m on my second week. Failed on 5 antidepressants. My insurance covers it. I am doing 6 weeks everyday for 3 and 1/2 minutes. It is not supposed to affect memory.

Have undergone 2 rounds of it, with good effect. Results only lasted about a year though, and then required a full round of treatment - otherwise insurance would not cover it - as a “tune up”

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. It's supposed to "reset" your brain.

I had 30 TMS treatments couple months ago. ( 5 days a week for 6 weeks) I highly recommend it as it did wonders for me !!! I had deep depression and nothing worked, then my Dr. decided to try the TMS. I thank the Lord he did as it made a world of difference in me.
