I am on my 10th treatment. I heard testimonies that it can take up to 2-3 weeks. The next day after my treatment I was really sleepy. Did you notice that too?

I haven't. I've also wondered about ECT.

Mary Lou, we have a lot in common. My depression has also been called medication/treatment resistant. I've gone through dozens of meds over the years. What you said about always being at war with yourself with no rest in sight makes a lot of sense. I've been on Lamictal for a few years, and different doctors will give different opinions about whether or not a medication can stop working (like becoming resistant to antibiotics). I need to try something else, regardless of the side effects.

Hi again,
To answer your question about my next course of treatment, I’m not sure. I see my doctor on Thursday and he definitely has to change my mood stabilizer because I’m starting to lose it with certain people and I can’t be doing that even though they do deserve to be set straight. So I don’t know all the meds available, I’ve been on several already. Like I said, my meds work for a certain period of time then I have to go on to something else. Right now I’m on Topomax for my moods. I was on Lamictal before that. So we’ll see what he does next.
Thanks for the encouragement, I try to be strong, but I’m really tired, and just want to get off of this ride.
So take care and keep in touch and let me know how your treatments are going.

Hi there,
I had a total of thirty TMS treatments last year. They didn’t work for me. I hope you have more success with your treatment. I then did Ketamine Infusion Therapy. I wouldn’t advise that either, because now I’m in the beginning stages of dementia and the doctor thinks it’s because of that. I have drug resistant depression, so it’s very hard to find a medication that works, plus I’m going to be sixty five soon and that carries a risk with what they can prescribe for me that is safe as I get older. I really hate this illness because you are always at war with yourself, no rest in sight. Even in sleep, my dreams torture me. I wish you luck in your therapy though, just because it didn’t work for me, doesn’t mean it won’t for you. 🌹🥰❤️🙏
