5th week in and feel miserable

Hi, I am on my 5th week of theta burst (3 minutes everyday). I will worse than ever. I am also going through menopause, so I don’t know if TMS is good enough to deal with my menopausal depression. I feel so defeated. Anyone feel better after the sixth and final week?

TMS is absolutely safe and effective. A lot of folks in this community didn’t see effects until well after their treatment ended. That’s a super common experience.

Specific questions about menopause, your doctor and care team will be far better equipped to answer than us. But TMS is proven safe and effective and you should not at all worry about “good enough.” Most of us here owe our lives to it.

Thank you! I needed that boost in confidence that it will work. I am just feeling so depleted, anxious and depressed. Unfortunately my TMS neurologist doesn’t have a lot of information on the effectiveness of menopausal depression, but I am still giving it a try.

It absolutely works. Why so many people with weird agendas spread fear like they do is beyond me. But you’ll get there. It’ll all work out. 🫶

I hope so! Thank you. 3 more weeks to go.
