@lcb24 Nothing is implanted. It is a device placed against your head. I suggest a Google search for info.
I just started TMS this week, have had 4 sessions. So far just a slight headache.
My depression is currently controlled by meds, which I have been on for YEARS, sometimes lower dosage, sometimes higher. Since it is Cymbalta, it is way difficult to get off. I also have PTSD, ADHD and rheumatoid arthritis. Doc says this will help with PTSD anxiety, brain fog and pain. When will I know if it is helping? Esp. Since current.depression is controlled?
Hi, I had 31 TMS treatments, just shy of the 36 my Dr wanted. I found no change in my depression. I hope you are one of the lucky ones that the treatment helps.

1 Reaction@bfunkyf. Please update...did you complete TMS?
I dont think that being in remission is good criteria for TMS, and am trying to make a decision in my own similar situation.

1 Reaction@pagely I read up on the magnet therapy and would imagine for some it might be helpful, magnets have been used for many things , i wore a back brace with and for magnetic therapy, could not tell you if it helped or not. as to mind and brain activity usage i would want to see studies of people testing it first and opinions of many users prior to trying it myself.
