The decision is yours of course @Eve7 and you're gut will let you know what to do.
If you're having med changes at the same time as TMS, you aren't going to know which of these helps you - could be both, or it could
be just one, but you're not going to know which one. From my experience though, TMS did help - it's just not a long term solution & neither is ECT.
Is you med change, in the same family of medication? Or totally different? If it's in the same family, I'd hope that you'd have less side effects. And in combination with TMS, you'll come out of hospital feeling pretty good. You need to go into hospital holding hope and faith that the effort is going to work, otherwise you're already setting yourself back from a successful admission.
From what I hear DBT is pretty full on. Your pdoc is certainly throwing a lot at you all at once.
But they know you well, and must believe you're strong enough to succeed at it all ⭐️❤️
I did end up having ECT, but my father had passed after a short term illness and my job had been made redundant and mum wanted to sell the family house, that I'd have to do all the work. I couldn't handle it all.
I made an uneducated/ill informed decision to do ECT & it wasn't for me.
Im actually of thinking of trying TMS again, but won't go into hospital while these stage 4 restrictions are still going in Melbourne.
Staying in your hospital room 24/7 - apart from your tms session would be detrimental to my MH
