> Aren't you given something before the proceedure? Xanax contraindicationed?

I haven't found anything on the net today about it. I am going to ask my Dr. on Tuesday. That would help a lot and maybe be able to sleep the night before.

> rTMS success varies. It could work for you.

It sucks that my insurance won't cover it. I would pay anything if it worked though.

> Something about your post strikes me as traumatic. Maybe the mask and oxygen are only the triggers.

Actually, I think the oxygen mask is part of my fear. I don't know why. Our bodies breath when we sleep. If all of the sudden they were in my house offering ect the fear would be short-lived.

I remember going through the routine before. The staff knew me & wondered why someone who appears so "normal" was there. I kinda joked with the anesthesiologist. I'm sure I was nervous, but I don't think it was this bad.
