Hello,
Just informing everyone of my completion of 20 rtms treatments in vancouver.. Unfortunately, my depression is as severe however... The treatments themselves are painless, I only experienced some sleep disturbances... But anywayz, I dont not recommend this treatment modality even though it didnt work for me because I always failed ECT... I just don't believe its a very potent anti-depressant treatment, at least not yet...

I, too, failed a course of ECT. I am having trouble as to where to place TMS on my list of options. I hope you fair better with your next treatment. How did you respond to Lamictal? I maintain about 15% improvement when I combine Lamictal with imipramine. I am currently trying memantine (Namenda). It is being added to Lamictal, imipramine, Zoloft, and Abilify. I'm keeping my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed.
