> Have you tried rTMS? I have benefitted a lot from that, and also from low-dose lithium (I have unipolar)
I would like to try the lithium again, if I can convince my pdoc.
He claims that the results from rTMS trials have been unimpressive. It's still not approved yet, correct? In any case, it's my understanding that I would not be accepted for rTMS treatment because of the metal leads in my neck from the VNS. This seems a bit silly to me, since the rTMS only penetrates a fraction of an inch down. I would definitely try it, if it became available in my area and I was accepted for treatment. I'm glad to hear you responded to the rTMS and lithium. Thank for the feedback.
