In reply to rTMS promising treatment or not?, posted by KaraS on March 18, 2005, at 14:13:11
I have posted before about TMS, but will just mention again that it has been tremendously helpful for me. I had an initial three-week course in January, 2003, and have returned seven times for 3 days of twice-daily "boosters". Each time, I have become completely free of depression after about three treatments. It's not permanent: after about two months the depression very slowly begins to recur. But going back for re-treatment, as needed, taking extremely low doses of Lexapro and Wellbutrin, and continuing therapy to address the root cause (csa) have all together worked extremely well. I know it doesn't work for everyone, of course, but there are quite a few of us who feel it's just a blessing.
