Here is the scoop:

I tried this treatment in 2006 at the MindCare Centres in Canada. The treatment was not available in the U.S. back then.

They called it Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, (rTMS).

I was feeling moderately depressed and was taking Doxepin at the time and was supposed to get 10 treatments.

I figured rather than dealing with the side-effects of increasing the dosage of my medication, (Doxepin), I would take the easy way out.

Wow, depression-free with no medication side-effects!

I had 2 treatments done in one day and it made my depression worse.

During the first treatment session, I felt myself feeling more sad.

I thought maybe I was just tired.

Then I went for a second treatment and I was starting to feel more miserable during the treatment. Afterwards my depression went from moderate to major.

This happened in 1 day!

They told me at the Clinic that I was just feeling more relaxed.

I wasn't more relaxed but I certainly was more depressed!

The staff at the clinic told me that it was impossible to feel either better or worse after only 2 treatments.

I felt worse after 1 treatment.

They want to try a different type of stimulation but I decided to cut my losses because they were not sure if it would help.

My stopping wasn't about money.

I stopped it because this treatment was making me worse.

Please feel free to ask me any questions.
