Dealing With Symptoms Or Side Effects?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

This is my own personal experience... I had been taking a low dose of Seroquel for about 2 ½ years, feeling very depressed and low, my psychiatrist decided to take me off Seroquel I was prescribed Bupropion.

If I went to a depressive mind set I would be consumed by suicidal thoughts. Another thing... I have a severe neck injury, I have been… read more

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Started TMS this week, 3 treatments so far. Those of you that found TMS helpful in treating your Depression, about how long did it take to start feeling a difference? I know everyone is different, but it would be nice to hear any feelings or time frames on how long it took to start feeling better. Thank you!

A MyDepressionTeam Member

Shelly, I'm on Spravato (and a host of other meds). Part of my treatment resistant major depression is PTSD. I wonder if TMS would work for me, I'd LOVE to forget about a lot of things.
