I have had TMS ten times between 2003 and 2008 on an experimental basis. For me, and about 50-60% of the people who try it, it is a wonderful treatment. For me, two treatments would banish depression entirely for about two months; however, it would invariably come back, and I would need to get retreated. Still, as someone who had serious side-effects from nearly every AD I tried, it was a godsend. It is very expensive now- $400 per treatment-but some insurances are already reimbursing for it, and all of them should be within a few years.
