I finished my TMS at the beginning of Dec. The last two weeks really became a struggle because the anxiety was so severe. I ended up getting only right sided treatment the last two weeks. At the same time, my doctor started me on wellbutrin. Three weeks after tms ended, I felt like a new person and the anxiety had gradually diminished until I felt like ME again. That period lasted for 2 weeks until the anxiety returned, which my doctor contributed to the wellbutrin. I came off of it and felt much better. I do think the TMS worked for me. The same anxiety occurred to my friend, and she too felt better a few weeks after completion. When I spoke to my doctor, he did mention that a few of his patients reported relief weeks after they finished TMS. But he did say patients like us are in the minority. He said most patients, about 70 percent, will feel better before completion of TMS.
I am nearing the end of my taper sessions and still looking for improvements in my depression and anxiety. My MD recently started me Wellbutrin a few days ago, and so far no tinnitus.
Thank you for the reassurance sunnybrook. I have a friend who had it done and only started to feel better 3 weeks after her last session. So I am hopeful that improvement will be felt soon. So grateful for your support!
I am new to the forum and currently wrapping up the taper sessions. I too had overwhelming anxiety after 3 weeks of treatment (left side only). I honestly started feeling ALOT better after less than 2 weeks so the anxiety was a bit disconcerting. When I mentioned it to the team, they started doing bilateral treatments. I started feeling worse – mood drops in addition to the anxiety and started feeling better 1 week ago. It certainly has been a roller coaster. I’m still not feeling as well as I did towards the beginning of treatment and really hoping things right themselves. For those of you experiencing anxiety during the TMS treatments, was there any improvement at the completion of therapy?
