So just had my third treatment with brainsway for depression. we can’t even get up to or passed my motor threshold which is 59% because I’m having such intensive spasms - staying at about 56% and having extreme hand spasming mainly in right hand sometimes in both and severe jaw clenching and facial twitching. My tech said she is calling medical (as in TMS medical team at brainsway) to see if there is something else we aren’t doing or could try because we have done slightly different positions and it still is very intense spasming and we can’t go further back at all because that could cause a seizure. has anyone else had this happen? If so what did you do?

So I just had my mapping done and first treatment - trying it for depression since I have tried 7 meds. The mapping only took like five minutes and made me feel more confident since it was very gentle and just those single zaps, but then we got to the actual treatment and I bit my tongue through so hard I bled a bunch 😭 . The teeth clenching was pretty intense, and I tried the mouth guard but it made my jaw hurt reallyyy bad when it would clench, way worse than without it (I have tmj. Anyone got tips? Anyone else bit their mouth a bunch?
