I need to post an update on my original post about my depression. I am really good at procrastination.

A lot of people don't realize that SSRIs are only effective 40% to 60% of the time. Many people have serious side effects causing them to stop, especially sexual side effects for men. This also effects some women.

I'm lucky that SSRIs have worked extremely well for me for a good part of my life. Only recently did I become treatment resistant. (I'm 64).

Anyway, I had TMS treatment number 17 today and it appears to be helping. There will be 34 treatments in total. I'm waiting for the dip that many people have. For anyone looking into this, reddit has a couple of TMS groups, and so does Fbook.
