> Hi,
> I suffer from major depressive disorder with possible bipolar as I became hypomanic on Wellbutrin.. I recently underwent 5 unilateral and 5 bilateral ECT sessions to no avail... I'm considering rTMS and I'm wondering whether my poor response to ECT means I won't respond to rTMS?? Anyone tried ECT and then had rTMS and it worked??
> Thanx for reading


I corresponded with Mark George MD, to ask him that exact question. He replied that there was not enough data to be able to answer it. He wouldn't venture to guess.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
