For me, yes, I would do rTMS over taking a medication simply because, except for MAOI's, I've kind of exhausted the other classes. If you are still able to tolerate SSRI's or some other form of medication that is helpful to you, then I think you should go with the medication. Also, be aware that if you are on a medication, you DON'T NEED TO GO OFF OF IT to receive rTMS. Often it can "help" medications work again.
I, myself, am hoping some of the new AD's coming down the pipeline will not act as such a bludgeon to my sensitive brain, and I will again be able to take medications.
Goes without saying, this is all just my very subjective opinion.
