Hi Denise! It's good to hear from you. Are you really going to Atlanta for the TMS? I have been trying for the last half hour to find my "TMS file", which has all that information in it, but so far haven't been able to.. The residential motel was on Peachtree Industrial Blvd., just inside the Atlanta beltway. I think it was called "Suburban Lodge". Dr. Hutto's office was just outside the beltway; it was about a five-ten minute drive, and so would be a 30 minute walk, probably. I got the name of the place from a form they sent me indicating various accomodations. Didn't you get one of those? I will keep looking, and send it to you as soon as I find it. That lodge is pretty basic, but the price was definitely right for 3 weeks of treatment.
I am doing well- thank you. The TMS kept me completely depression-free for about five months, but then a mild amount returned, for which I am taking Lexapro 10 mg.- that is working well, but if it weren't, I would definitely return for a short maintenance round of TMS. As you know, I think it is a very effective treatment- as good as ECT, but with no negative side-effects on memory. In fact, I have been feeling especially quick-witted since I had it, and recently saw an article in the NY Times about how it was being used at Yale, experimentally, to increase brain-power!
Be sure to keep me informed about what you do.
