In reply to done with 2 1/2 weeks of rTMS (24 treatments), posted by poser938 on February 16, 2012, at 15:12:15
I'm so sorry about the rTMS. Please don't feel hopeless, there will be something else for you to try.

> i thought i kinda liked this psychiatrist at first, until she said "you do not have tardive dyskinesia". she thinks it is impossible since it wasnt caused by an antipsychotic. why aere there so many ignorant psychiatrists in this world? if i never would have bought into the idea that antidepressants could help, i probably wouldnt have had to deal with any doctors until im like 50. my life seems pretty gloomy to me right now, bordering on hopeless.
