Post TMS, off antidepressants, major change in temperament?
After 20 or so years of antidepressants and therapy, I was referred to TMS. Ran the whole course of treatment, felt successful, tapered of antidepressants.
Feeling big changes in temperament. Family says I’m more irritable, short tempered. I’d counter that I feel more “alive” , less fog, more like a participant and thus more inclined to push back when things cross me. As opposed to being rather passive and internally coping with frustrations.
I dunno. Anyone else having a similar experience? I would say I feel genuinely less depressed, my overall outlook on life has seriously improved. But now it also seems to have simply allowed other issues to surface that depression symptoms and antidepressants have maybe been masking?
Other issues in the brain chemistry cocktail include adhd and adderall, sleep apnea and a CPAP, daytime fatigue and exhaustion, yada yada.
Not looking for diagnosis or medical advice, just curious if anyone else had same sorta thing. Also some disappointment. Hoped for magic magnetic cure to all that ails me, and still have other issues and work to do.
