TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION

Description of Event or Problem

I RECEIVED TWENTY SESSIONS OF BILATERAL TMS FOR ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. FOLLOWING THE 20TH SESSION I HAD 4 CLUSTER PANIC ATTACKS. THE FIRST TIME I HAD EVER HAD A HEART ATTACK. FOLLOWING THIS I BECAME SO DEBILITATED WITH ANXIETY AND PANIC I COULD DO BASIC TASKS OR PREPARE FOOD. I EXPERIENCED CONSTANT TINNITUS, THE FEELING OF A SURGING THROUGH MY CHEST, HEART PALPATIONS AND DEREALIZATION. I HAD TO TAKE A YEAR OFF WORK AND WAS HOSPITALIZED TWICE. I EXPERIENCED ACUTE SUICIDAL IDEATION OF THE ANGUISH THAT THE EXPERIENCE GAVE ME. I AM TWO YEARS SINCE HAVING THE TREATMENT AND STILL HAVE PANIC ATTACKS AND I AM STILL IN RECOVERY.
