I have had in the neighbor hood of 60 treatments now. I felt some good and bad days a bit volatile the first 2 weeks. after that things settled down to a very good improvement. My scores on the questionnaires dropped dramatically over the month that followed the initial 2 weeks. Since I suffer primarily from anxiety with some depression, after the initial 36 treatments we decided to try the right side low frequency which did not work at all. felt worse very quickly. I went back to bilateral and felt better quickly. I am tapering now and am down to one a week for the next few weeks then Im done. At that point I will start to taper my Xanax and see if my anxiety stays in check…
Today was better. At least until about an hour ago when i saw my dog had dug up the internet cable in the back yard after a long standing issue here. it made me realize that feeling “good” is relative because I am still just a little stress away from relapse. however, the other days there was no cause, so its still improvement. My techs are like daily therapists now, they are great. I can see getting a feeling of dependence on seeing them (both of them have gone through the procedure with much success by the way). They remind me that 6 treatments is nothing, I just need to be patient. I hope you beat your insurance company. I will keep this site posted throughout my treatment. Good luck to you , Brian.
I should also mention that prior to starting TMS treatment I have been taking 1 mg extended release Xanax twice daily and that has been controlling my symptoms fairly well. I was still nervous but functional, no panic attacks, I stopped losing weight. Since beginning TMS my emotions have definitely been stirred up both good and bad. At least I know its doing something, I just want to believe that the good emotions will overtake the bad ones and not the other way around..
