Worsening anxiety after TMS?

[virginiaslayden]

Hello,
I'm almost finished with my treatment (33 out of 36 sessions). Overall, I can honestly say it's helped with the main issue I wanted to address: suicidal ideation. However, my anxiety has increased significantly, almost tenfold. I've discussed this with my provider, and we've made some medication adjustments. I also have some personal issues contributing to the increased anxiety, so I can't say for certain that TMS is the cause.

I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience, where TMS helped with one symptom but seemed to bring out or worsen another?

this forum isn’t for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. TMS here refers to the mindbody syndrome or as Dr Sarno initially referred to as tension myositis or tension myoneural syndrome. The gist being that stress, emotional dysfunction or other factors are leading to the brain generating pain and other symptoms.
