rTMS for medication augmention?

Posted by EERRIICC on August 6, 2005, at 20:49:56

We all know its a weak AD but perhaps it could boost the effect of sub-par meds via synergy or eliminate poop-out. Anyway its 3000$ here in Toronto at "MindCare", I'll give it a shot when my parnate's effectiveness starts to wane, as it does after every time I take it for three months. I'll let you guys know when I do it and if it helps.

I wouldn't say weak. Weak in comparison to ECT perhaps, but when I did it, it was very strong. I used it to augment citalopram which was pooping out at the time.

I had tried the rTMS before I ever tried a dopaminergic drug. After I tried a parnate and a stimulant or two I realized that some of the effect of rTMS was dopaminergically mediated.

It sure helped me sleep, when done right it can have a global anticonvulsant effect.
