I know these therapies do work for some people but with TMS, I just don't believe the efficacy research. After 7-years of unrelenting suicidal depression literally trying every therapy (short of DBS which has been recently proven ineffective) I found a psychiatrist who was willing to prescribe Nardil (an MAOI) after 2-weeks, I have been 100% free of depression- The first time in 30-years- Unbelievable...A true miracle.

good, glad to hear that things worked out. my p-doc once had me on an MAOI, which sadly didn't work for me. it was more challenging being on an MAOI than the SSRIs because of the food restrictions. are you having any problems with that?
