did it help your depression? after how many treatments did you start noticing a benefit from it?

In reply to TwinLeaf how was your experience with rTMS, posted by poser938 on January 11, 2012, at 18:44:30
Very reliable. I would go to have it when the depression scale (Beck, Masdr) got to around 30. I would notice improvement after the second treatment, and would usually feel pretty normal, and have a normal depression rating, by 4 treatments. I would usually have two more for insurance. I had an initial course of 15, then 4-6 for maintenance. The last two years, I haven't needed it.

Please keep us updated of your progress. I will be very interested to try rTMS if I get stuck with my current treatment.
