Hi Denise-
Its amazing how we all react as differently to rTMS as to medications. Within three days I knew I was definitely receiving a treatment that was affecting my brain because I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin from the worst anxiety imaginable. I was at the newer (at the time) Toronto site and they called Vancouver to see what the hell was happening to me. Turns out, I was having what they called "the Prozac" affect. They had seen it before and they said that most people who had that cluster of "side effects" (is there NOTHING I don't have bad side effects to???) also were responders to the therapy. Basically I had a bad reaction to the rTMs in a very similar way I was having bad reactions to the medication. It was just a bit too much for my system! Anyway, they were correct in that I did end up being a "responder". I just had to get worse before I got better.
