I had TMS at Beth Israel last year. It didn't do anything for me, but it was a one-size fits all approach, which Dr. Pascual-Leone said often doesn't fit all. I'm looking for other trials I can do, because I think it has a lot of potential.
It wasn't painful at all, no headaches, no memory loss, etc. TMS is totally different from ECT as far as adverse effects. I won't take the risk of ECT wiping out my memory, but I'd do TMS every day of the year if I could.
I'm curious as to what kind of trial you're doing -- did they tell you the frequency used (mine was 10Hz)? Will it be left side or both sides?
Good Luck,
Wombat
