In reply to rTMS - Chapter 1, posted by bipolarspectrum on February 27, 2004, at 20:18:50
I had rTMS at the clinic in Vancouver last month (20 sessions over 2 weeks). It definitely made my chronic insomnia worse during the treatment, though seemed to get better after I got home. Didn`t help my depression any. For me, the treatments were excruciatingly painful. The 2nd week was better than the 1st but still hurt A LOT, like someone was drilling nails into my skull. Just an FYI for those considering the treatment-the brochure says it`s painless-NOT!!!!! (for some people). They didn`t really have an answer as to why it hurt me so much-said it might be because they had to use a higher intensity stimulation because I`m on clonazepam. Cecilia
