Hi.. for me it was eight years of multiple drug trials- most of which worked only partially and briefly. I was actually quite scared of the side effects of the MAOI's, which were next in line, and so elected TMS instead. But, as you know, there are a number of posters to the board who feel stable and well on them.
The TMS worked very dramatically. I went from severely depressed to normal in 7 days- I can still hardly believe it! I am going to have an additional week of treatment as a sort of "insurance". Best of all, I will be followed by the doctors here, and can receive booster treatments, or even another course, if I need it. It is such a new and wonderful experience to know that there is actually a really effective treatment for me out there after all the years of struggling with ineffective AD's.
wishing you the very best!
