Wow!
TMS-Transcranial magnetic stimulation
yes i did have it a year ago it just now starting to wane from being very effective for me. my anxiety was gone and helped my depression too.
I had 35 TMS treatments, no relief at all, just gave me a headache, I basically wasted a lot of money on this treatment, without any changes at all
I react with awful side effects to any medication I have tried and am looking into the Fisher Wallace Stimulator to help with anxiety/depression/chronic pain. Does anyone know if anyone has had success with it? I've seen mixed reviews and don't trust their own website to be honest ;)

I had TMS this past summer. Huge time commitment (daily appointments for 6 weeks). I had side effects of bad headaches, done forgetfulness and exhaustion, but it was worth it. I’ve been off meds… read more
I had very severe, negative side effects to ECT. Would there be a danger of my personality changing or horrible memory loss again with TMS?
My memory is the same so far...it wasn't great to begin with but no change. My personality is getting back to where it used to being...im starting to feel like myself. This is my TMS overview I posted… read more
I wonder what the voltage is and how long the treatments are. Where are the currents applied? Temples? Front ? Back? I had a Fisher Wallace for 400. deal but I did not have the discipline to use it… read more
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!
