    Pretty much same meds here. Are you weaning off any of them?

    It was very strange. I started having weird dreams and very emotional. Placebo effect maybe???

    I’m getting used to it 5 sessions in. It’s been a very emotional journey for me. Very intense very fast. The tech says that’s a good thing, I on the other hand feel like a train wreck.

    I feel you! I’m 3 sessions in and scared everyday. I cried through the entire session yesterday and terrified today already. I don’t know if I can do 30 more but I’m going to keep fighting IF it helps it’ll be worth it.
    My fear is going through all this for no results.
    I’m doing Neurostar but from what I’ve heard they are the same except for the helmet lol.
    Wish I could offer more, everyone says you get used to it… I can’t imagine! The tech kept saying “it’s NOT painful “. I wanted to choke her. It hurts like hell.
    Just wanted you to know your not alone. I’d love to hear about your progress.

    I made it through. No one told me this was going to be like childbirth.
    I sat in the chair tense waiting for the next painful contraction (pulses). I thought something was physically thomping my head I didn’t understand it was just current. Holy hell thats some current. The tech kept telling me you get used to it… is that really the case? I can’t imagine getting used to it.
    I also felt my face grimace each time it started tapping so I felt like it caused me to slightly move, is that a bad thing?
    I won’t give up, I’ll find though all 36 treatments it’s my last hope.

    Sounds like a sales pitch.
