Larry,

So you have a pretty positive view of rTMS? I'm curious, b/c I highly respect your opinion. Since I'm in NYC, I've looked into getting into the study underway at Columbia. The rub is that a) I work 9-5, b) they're only open 9-5, and c) I am skeptical that I can get that far uptown for that long each day for three weeks.

To be honest, I've only been on a very few meds (effexor, cymbalta, lexapro, and SAM-e, if you consider that one). For a long time, I was doing fine, tolerating some annoying side effects with effexor (horrific night sweats). Now I'm in med limbo and terrified of taking drugs over the long haul.

For anyone interested, the people who I've corresponded with haven't been able to share any of their preliminary data with me (and are in the process of developing a "compassionate rTMS" study, which differs from the current I don't know how). They did say that they're delivering their data to the FDA in the next couple of months, though. Don't know what the ETA on hearing about approval would be, but it's nice to hear that another prospect is in the pipeline.
