The studies were set up to address the treatment resistant population, probably out of a need to get patients since this wasn't exactly a procedure that is tried for anything less than MDD where other possibilities have been exhausted. As part of that I believe it is a little much to ask such a population to quit their meds - I know I wouldn't have been able to do it back then or now. I can't speak to what protocol might be in place for a current study but I would think it is likely that you could stay on meds. I am definitely taking meds now and likely will be for the rest of my life.150mg nortriptyline
15mg Brintellix
1.5mg Abilify- Bob
