I’ve done the ketamine but could not afford to continue. I really had a quick and noticeable change from it. My insurance approved in-network rTMS, so that’s what I’m doing. I am at the start of my second week, and I am in the DIP. I am tired and feeling very sad. I don’t like the treatments either — I got a dental guard because I was clenching my teeth so hard that I was afraid I’d break one.
I am upset that they don’t really prepare you for what it feels like. The doctor referred to it as a “tapping” on the head. It’s more like a loud bang, particularly as they up the intensity. And the twitching on my right hand is taking some getting used to. Overall, I hope this treatment works because I find it unpleasant.
Yes, I just finished my first week of treatment. I, too, feel worse. I am tired and weepy. I have noticed I am less stressed, but I am very, very sad and tired. I am hoping this will lift because no medications help me and I can’t afford ketamine which DID help but was $400 per dose and insurance does not cover it.
