Hi. I just finished session 30-31. I felt better and had noticeable improvements during the 2nd-4th weeks, then I experienced the dip around session 20 and it lasted for about 10 days. I’ve bounced back from the dip but I’m still not feeling as well again as I did in the beginning. I feel like I’m back to what I was before I ever started – and that’s pretty frustrating, especially after I experienced positive affects.
I have started the taper, they call it, which is what happens at the end of your treatments – 3 this week, 2 next week, and 1 the next – but no one has mentioned adding on treatments. If I finish and I’m still not feeling better I’m going to be so disappointed. And I won’t want to have to pay for an entire second round at some point. I also don’t want to get defeated, but this is so hard to deal with. It’s like they gave me some new, yummy treat and then took it back with no explanation. 😟
Hi. I started experiencing a dip about 10 days ago, on day 20 of treatment. TMS was doing wonders for me – I have been less angry and irritable and felt more energetic and interested in doing activities that were harder for me before. I have been exercising more and playing with the kids more. I’ve not been as reactionary and was calm overall. But then the dip hit and I’ve been not only depressed, but tired and sluggish, irritable, and have had body pains and headaches. It is hard to deal with, especially after feeling good for weeks, and then being hit with depression and symptoms that have been even worse than before.
I was told this could happen and I’ve read, here and elsewhere, that it could happen and what to expect, so I am being positive and hoping for the best. Not only hoping, but doing positive things and listening to positive podcasts, etc., to keep me in a positive frame of mind. I’m needing more sleep, which I am getting, and trying to continue to eat well, etc. I am a bit scared that the lift won’t happen and I’ll be stuck in depression, but I want this dip to lift so badly, so that I can get back to feeling good, that I am going to focus on that being the outcome. I can’t settle for less at this point. It’s only up from here! Wish me luck!
