Most patients continue medications during TMS treatment. Our psychiatrists monitor patients for adjustments & potential interactions.
Yes, most patients can continue taking their prescribed medications during the course of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment for depression. However, it is essential for the treating physician to be aware of all medications the patient is taking, as some may require adjustments or monitoring during TMS treatment. It is important to note that patients who are taking medications with a risk of lowering the seizure threshold may need special consideration.
As each case is unique, please include all specific medications and dosages your patient is currently on so our psychiatrist can screen for potential interactions. All patients will be screened by a psychiatrist during and throughout treatment and will never start unless it is safe to do so.
