Zola,
I tried to get into a clinical trial here in the US, but I was having extra ventricular heart beats and they wouldn't let me in. From what I learned about it after talking to the research doc there is about a 50% chance it will help. It is somewhat painful for some people and they weren't sure if it would cause migraine headaches.I would have had to go every day for about an hour for SEVERAL weeks and then it would have been tapered. I wouldn't have known if I had gotten the real deal or sham until after the 6 weeks.
This is STILL something I would possibly consider.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has experience with or knowledge of rapid transcranial magnetic stimulation. It's still in the research stage in US, but is available in Canada (and maybe some other countries). I'm considering it because of lack of success with meds and am unwilling to try ect.
