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.
