I have a theory that rTMS + 5-htp would be a good combination. rTMS induces a subsensitivity of the 5-ht1a/b autoreceptors, this would lead to increased serotogenic firing. Taking 5-htp would perhaps increase production of serotonin, more of which would be released after rTMS treatment.

Allo Link,
Do you know if the rTMS activates DA and NE receptors?

I know that rTMS induces a downregulation of beta adrenoreceptors in a similar manner to the tricyclics. I also know it causes a release of dopamine in the caudate.
