Need help. last 5 treatments have been a nightmare.

I’m feeling really confused and lost. My treatment had been mostly neutral until recently, but now I’ve started feeling extremely exhausted and mentally drained after my appointments.

By around 10 AM, it basically ruins the rest of my day.

I spoke with my technician today, and they said the doctor recommended extending the session by 5 minutes, which we did. But now, just 30 minutes after getting home, I feel awful.

I’m starting to wonder if I can continue with this treatment. I’ve also been seeing posts from others saying it damaged their brains long-term, and that’s terrifying me. I haven’t felt this bad—or even had suicidal thoughts—in years, and I’m regretting starting TMS.

Everyone says there are no side effects or negative consequences, but right now, it feels like that’s not true.

 

Are you talking about Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation? That is a different kind of TMS than what we discuss on this Forum, which is Tension Myoneural Syndrome--a MindBody syndrome that causes chronic pain and other symptoms.

 

im pretty sure they mostly use rTMS for things we call mindbody problems so she could still be in the right place
