Where’s here?

How is it going please let me know

@@henryzhao4622 I finished all the treatments almost a year ago. I never felt happiness in my life. probably thanks to my child hood and all the trauma. About 4 months ago I started a weight loss journey while on welbutrin 300mg and setraline 50mg and I was put on zepbound but with he storage, now wegovy. Lost 35 lbs in 4 months. Right now I feel every day like I did immediately after treatment. Simple things Driving in the car is so nice I feel no stress or sadness anxiety.. And especially seeing my kids having a special moment and feeling the love and smile. I have no idea if TMS was the key or a combination. But at 43 I'm happiest I've been in my life. I mean I do feel that cloud come over me if I were to relax and just think about sadness. But if I think of something positive that goes away. naturally when you have had depression forever. You don't know you are even depressed.. Meaning that feeling is normal. So saying am I happy or sad.. happy means I'm not currently feeling like crying..

Hoe did it go? As I'm not so sure if this is right treatments option for me? pleaseahekp ASAP❤

@@Butterflywishes-rf9dt TMS has helped my daughter a lot! We are getting ready to start her 73rd treatment next month. Some patients are very successful with this procedure! My advice to you is…”GO FOR IT!”

The side effects are so uncommon and so mild you have no reason to be worried.

In some respects you sound like younger me, I’ve learned a lot more about my perspective of mental health in the past few years and if I could give advice to myself when I was younger. (I’ve had depression and anxiety for 9 years, I’ve always thought I dealt with it independently relatively okay therefore ‘not as serious as some people’) fast forward a couple more years when I’m 24 now, it much harder for your neurology to change when you get older. The way I dealt with it as a teen seemed mild although it WAS severe, because of my brains ability to adapt and heal. Trust me, if you are sick you are deserving of treatment. The longer you leave it and dismiss it the more damage you will do to yourself. I’ve lost my ability to imagine images, remember the past series of days in sequence and just genuinely find it difficult to make new meaningful memories. Beforehand I had the best visual and cognitive memory out of all my friends. Just stay with the help, you honestly deserve it and I wouldn’t want you to leave it late like me. And honestly I don’t think there’s many side effects at all? Not with TMS, remember you brain has a naturally occurring electrical current in it anyway. This is partly how we naturally develop new neural links. I think TMS just emulates this, it’s at a much lower frequency that ECT by something like 1/400th.

@@Joanna-gg4qx thank you so much! I can’t imagine images either :(

@@xovix aww it’s so challenging especially when you feel like you’re the only one! You’re doing so well to manage this, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. ❤️ Let me know if you need a new friend to talk to that relates 🌼

All i can say is if i was 18 again and depressed i would choose this before antidepressants. And speaking from personal experience it raised my anxiety initially but i am now 10 sessions in and my anxiety is the lowest it has been in years.

I’d definitely seek medical advice first

Recommend no more than a 2-5% taper every 2-4 weeks. This is EXTREMELY important. Many times, withdrawal is delayed so you may be doing large cuts and feel great, actually better than ever but just be blindsided with severe, debilitating withdrawal weeks or months later and at that point it's often too late to reinstate so it's a waiting game. Please be aware most doctors follow old tapering guidelines and the majority going through withdrawal did follow their doctors tapering advice.

Hey Nadia! We highly recommend speaking with your provider to see what is best for YOU as each person is different.

Numerous people become addicted to antidepressants as the body acclimates to the constant drug use. Your brain may recover like anyone else who quits a drug.

For me i was on Pristiq and I've wondered the exact same question, because i always thought the medication was so unnatural and yet I've asked for Adderall or some sort of focus pill because my mindset has been so abnormal and wanted to like really yearn what i want in a good education and overall lifeset I was off of it completely by myself and I've learned my lesson and I'm going for TMS again soon
