If anyone is interested, I'm going into my third week of rTMS and it hasn't (so far) given me a hugely noticeable benefit. Perhaps there is robustly mild antidepressant and anxiolytic effect, but nothing to get me into the workforce, or even the school of the long-term conversation. Still burdened by a heaviness, a feeling of being overwhelmed, and an inability to conduct daily affairs (other than running errands) with any semblance of functionality. If I could just remove this feeling of anxiety that darkens the world, I know I would move forward with my life. Right now, not feeling like rTMS is going to do much, but I've still got 16 more treatments to go (if insurance approves). Also, my psychiatrist mentioned switching the magnet to the right dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (versus the left) as that region of focus has been more successful in treating PTSD, GAD, OCD, SAD, etc. Anyway, I'll write another post in a couple of weeks if anyone is interested.
